1955 Map of Sunapee

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Newport serves as a central hub in this mid-century New Hampshire landscape, where the Sugar River winds through a valley defined by the steep rises of Croydon Mountain and Grantham Mountain. The map reveals a post-war recreational and industrial landscape, with the sprawling Lake Sunapee anchoring the eastern half. Local heritage is preserved at the Little Red Schoolhouse Museum south of the main town, while the extractive history of the region is noted at the Mica Mine near Otter Pond. Transportation networks are well-defined, showing the Boston and Maine RR serving settlements like Kelleyville and Guild. On the lake's western shore, the Mount Sunapee State Park and various landings like Burkehaven and Blodgett Landing suggest a burgeoning era of lakeside tourism and summer residency.
