1928 Map of Wolfeboro

About this map

Lake Wentworth and the eastern shores of Winnipesaukee Lake dominate this New Hampshire landscape, captured during a period of established lakeside settlement and rail-dependent commerce. The Boston and Maine Railroad serves as a critical corridor through the region, connecting towns like Sanbornville and Wakefield while passing through specialized stops such as East Wolfeboro Cotton Valley Sta. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the lakeside campus of Brewster Academy to numerous district schools like Garland Brown School and Hackett School. Interior terrain is defined by the Ossipee Mts and prominent ridges including Browns Ridge and Ballards Ridge. Water-level details are particularly rich, naming specific landforms like Stamp Act I and Jockey Cap I within Lake Wentworth, reflecting the era's focus on surveying both natural resources and growing recreational geography.
