1958 Map of Wolfeboro

About this map

Lake Winnipesaukee and its winding shoreline define the southwestern portion of this Carroll County landscape, where the bustling hub of Wolfeboro sits as a gateway to the Lakes Region. This 1958 revision captures a classic New England lakefront economy, featuring Brewster Academy and the Huggins Hospital complex near the water's edge. The industrial and transit patterns of the mid-20th century are evident along the Boston and Maine Railroad, which links several specialized stations including Cotton Valley Station and Burleyville Station. Inland, the terrain rises sharply into the Ossipee Mts, dotted with isolated settlements like Water Village and Roland Park. The map also documents the transition from rail to highway culture, with the Governor Wentworth Highway skirting the eastern shores of Lake Wentworth and Wentworth State Park. Local life is further detailed through dozens of cemeteries and churches scattered from Tuftonboro to Sanbornville.
