About this map

Sunapee Lake dominates the eastern portion of this Sullivan County landscape, its irregular shoreline punctuated by Sunapee Harbor, Hedgehog Cove, and Dunning Point. In the mid-1980s, this region shows a transition between industrial and recreational land use, where the Sugar River flows west toward Guild and Newport, historically powering local mills. The rugged interior is defined by Croydon Mountain and the Gile Memorial Forest, creating a mosaic of conservation land and small settlements like Georges Mills. Evidence of the area's geological and transportation history is visible in features like Mica Mine Hill and the route of the Boston and Maine Railroad passing through the southern valley. Unique natural features like the Philbrick-Cricenti Bog and numerous smaller bodies of water, including Perkins Pond and Stocker Pond, illustrate the post-glacial topography characteristic of the New Hampshire highlands.
