1909 Map of Winnipesaukee

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Laconia and Lakeport anchor the southwestern shore of this early 20th-century landscape, where the Boston and Maine RR winds along the water to connect these industrial hubs with the resort communities of the Lakes Region. The map reveals a complex network of island life and water-based transportation, most notably the designated steamboat route that zigzags across the broads of Lake Winnipesaukee to reach remote landings. From Bear Island to Governors Island, dozens of named landforms like Beckys Garden and The Witches emerge from the water, while the looming Ossipee Mountains and Red Hill define the northern horizon. This 1906-1907 survey captures the era when seasonal parks and lakeside camps, such as White Mountain Park and Interlaken Park, began to transform the traditional farming and timber terrain around Meredith and Moultonboro Falls into a premier vacation destination.
