Ok, gokart, I'll take a stab at some of it. I hope someone with an actual map from the 1940s will chime in and help out. The road from the south end of Alton used to run into Alton Bay (pretty much as it does now) and then follow the Lake along what is now listed as 28A, until it connected (somehow) to the south end of Roberts Cove Road following RCR northward until connecting back to the "main" road. This lead into Wolfeboro pretty much along the same road as is in play today. The current Rt 28 took out some really serious turns along the Lake, and, or course, is wider and safer.

I hope this helps, or, at least, prompts someone to offer a better answer.
