1928 Map of Wolfeboro

About this map

The Lakes Region of New Hampshire, centered on the thriving hub of Wolfeboro, is captured here in the late 1920s. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Winnipesaukee Lake and Lake Wentworth, where the Boston and Maine RR traces the shoreline, serving stations like Cotton Valley Sta and Burleyville Sta. This era shows a well-established social fabric, evidenced by numerous rural education sites such as Duncan Lake School and Churchill School, alongside the prominent Brewster Academy near the town center. The map reveals the intricate network of villages like Wolfeboro Falls, Sanbornville, and Water Village, each connected by the early State Highway system. Beyond the developed lakefronts, the terrain rises into the Ossipee Mts and Browns Ridge, illustrating the era's balance between a seasonal lake-centered economy and the traditional upland settlements of Carroll County.
