1987 Map of West Alton

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Lake Winnipesaukee dominates this New Hampshire landscape, its expansive waters defining the recreational and residential geography of the late 1980s. The shoreline is punctuated by established vacation sites and small communities like Spring Haven, West Alton, and Sandy Island Camp. The map highlights the complex archipelago of the lake, featuring major landforms such as Rattlesnake Island, Sleepers Island, and the prominent Tuftonboro Neck. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Belknap Mountains, where summits like Mt Major and Straightback Mountain overlook the deep waters of Alton Bay. This survey captures the region as it balanced natural conservation in the Belknap Mountain State Forest and Mt Major State Park with the dense seasonal development at Ellacoya State Park and Ames.
