About this map

Lake Sunapee and its intricate northern shoreline anchor this mid-1980s topographical survey of Sullivan County. The map details a transition from the lakeside communities of Sunapee, Georges Mills, and Burkehaven to the elevated, timbered ridges of Croydon Mountain and Grantham Mountain. Settlement patterns follow the valleys, with older village centers like Croydon Four Corners and North Newport connected by a network of rural roads and the Old Railroad Bed.

Industrial and natural history are well-represented, from the Mica Mine near Ledge Pond to the conservation lands of the Gile Memorial Forest and the Lincoln and Allison Gordon Wildlife Management Area. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Pine Grove Cem, St Andrews Church, and family-named terrain like Baltimore Hill and Jackman Ridge. Water features are exceptionally dense here, ranging from the large Little Sunapee Lake to the protected Philbrick-Cricenti Bog.
