1987 Map of West Alton

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Lake The Broads Winnipesaukee dominates this 1980s topography, illustrating the intricate shoreline and island chains of central New Hampshire. The map details the developed waterfronts of Tuftonboro Neck and Wolfeboro Neck, where established summer camps and communities like Sandy Island Camp and Keewayden are prominent. Along the southwestern shore, the terrain rises sharply from West Alton toward the peaks of Mt Major and Straightback Mountain, revealing a landscape of managed conservation and recreation including Belknap Mountain State Forest and Ellacoya State Park. A notable insight is the presence of the Mt Washington Boat Route, which highlights the historical and ongoing importance of waterborne transit connecting points like Diamond Island and Rattlesnake Island to mainland settlements. Several small cemeteries are marked near the Alton Brook valley, providing valuable data for local genealogists tracking the area's older families.
