About this map

Wolfeboro serves as the hub of this 1925 survey, established on the shores of Wolfeboro Bay and Crescent Lake. The landscape is a complex network of glacial ponds and granite peaks, anchored by the sprawling Lake Wentworth and its Seven Sisters Islands. To the north, the Ossipee Mts rise sharply, including peaks like Canaan Mtn and Sentinel Mtn. The region's early 20th-century character is defined by a decentralized pattern of small settlements and neighborhood institutions, including Water Village, Roland Park, and Leighton Corners.

Educational and industrial history is well-preserved through labels for the Brewster Academy and numerous rural schoolhouses such as Garland School and Piper School. The Boston and Maine Railroad provides the vital transit corridor, with dedicated stops at East Wolfeboro Cotton Valley Sta and the East Wakefield Burleyville Sta. Along the eastern edge, Chases Mill stands as a marker of the local water-powered economy near Province Lake.
