About this map

Wolfeboro and its surrounding lakeside hamlets serve as the focal point for this survey of the eastern lakes region during the mid-1920s. The Boston and Maine Railroad provides the primary industrial spine, connecting centers like Wolfeboro Falls and Sanbornville to the wider New England network. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Wentworth and Winnipesaukee Lake, which are dotted with numerous named islands such as Stamp Act I and Jockey Cap I.

Evidence of the area's rural institutional life is found in the many small schools and landmarks, including Brewster Academy and the Lakeview Cem. The map captures a transition where traditional industries, represented by Chases Mill, exist alongside early seasonal settlements like Roland Park. The presence of Poor Farm Hill offers a specific insight into the social infrastructure of Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro during this era.
