About this map

The eastern shores of Winnipesaukee Lake and the recreational waters of Lake Wentworth define this New Hampshire landscape during the late 1920s. Centered on the hub of Wolfeboro, the area showcases a well-developed network of lakeside settlements and seasonal communities, including Roland Park and South Wolfeboro. The Boston and Maine RR winds through the topography, serving vital stops like Cotton Valley Sta and Brookfield Sta, connecting the timber and agricultural lands of the Ossipee Mts to larger markets.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Lakeview Cem near the waterfront to numerous rural schoolhouses such as Champion School and Hackett School. The presence of Brewster Academy and various named islands like Stamp Act I and Jockey Cap I highlights the region's enduring character as both an educational and summer retreat. Industry is represented by sites like Chases Mill in the north, while the winding Melvin River and Dan Hole Pond illustrate the complex drainage patterns of Carroll County.
