2021 Map of Washington

About this map

The town of Washington sits at a historic crossroads in the southwestern New Hampshire highlands, marked by the presence of the Center Cem and a network of roads leading toward local summits. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of water bodies and high points, from the large expanse of Highland Lake near the settlement of North Outlet to the prominent peak of Lovewell Mtn. This landscape reveals a long history of upland settlement, where travel was dictated by ridges and water, as seen in the route of the 2nd New Hampshire Tpke and roads like Dole School House Rd that hint at former community centers. Further north, the village of East Washington is situated near Bradford Spring and Shedd Brook, illustrating the way early development clung to the valleys between heights like Avery Ledge and Sunapee Mtn.
