1909 Map of Winnepesaukee

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

Lake Winnepesaukee dominates this early twentieth-century landscape, a time when the Steamboat Route was a vital link between lakeside settlements. The map illustrates a region transitioning into a premier summer destination, evidenced by developments like White Mountain Park and Interlaken Park. Industrial and transit hubs are centered at Laconia and Lakeport, where the Boston and Maine Railroad skirts the western shores of Paugus Bay. Smaller hamlets like Melvin Village and Moultonboro Falls reveal the earlier agricultural and milling roots of the area. The intricate shoreline is marked by numerous family-named islands and points, such as Becky's Garden and Smith Neck, providing a detailed look at the geography before the mid-century expansion of modern infrastructure. This survey captures the distinct character of the Belknap Mountains overlooking the water.
