1956 Map of Winnipesaukee

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Lake Winnipesaukee dominates this mid-century survey, its expansive waters including The Broads and complex inlets like Moultonboro Bay and Paugus Bay. The landscape is a study in recreational and industrial utility, where the tracks of the Boston and Maine RR skirt the shorelines of Laconia and Meredith. Local history is preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Red Hill Cem and Shannon Cem, and the presence of institutions like the La Salette Sch. High elevations in the Ossipee Mountains and Belknap Mountains frame the lake, with Belknap State Reservation marking early conservation efforts. This era captures the region as a primary aviation and transport hub for central New Hampshire, anchored by the Laconia Airport and the transition from traditional lake commerce at Union Wharf to modern road travel along State 25.
