Interesting maps of old
In an effort to find out how the lake looked way back when, I found these survey and rail road maps. They give you and idea of how similar Winnipesaukee is then and now.
1756 Map of His Magesty's Provence of NH
1771 Winipifsioket Pond
1794 Survey Map of Winnipesaukee
1845 Winnipesaukee RR Map
(Crooked because the map was drawn with north in the wrong place.)
1894 RR Map of Winnipesaukee Area
These maps can be found on the PhotoPost for closer detail. I hope everyone enjoys these as much as I.
