A vivid, teal blue tinted, bird's-eye view pocket map of this breathtakingly scenic and very popular summertime destination. Steamships and sailboats fill the waters, and towns, harbors, homesteads and lighthouses grace the shoreline in this finely rendered stone lithograph. Ferry routes crisscross the lake from Alton Bay to Center Harbor, and Wolfboro Bay to Weirs. A series of tables in the lower margin name the islands on the lake and the mountains to the north. Folds into original paper covers (3.7 x 7"). Title on front cover reads: "Bird's Eye Map of Lake Winnipesaukee New Hampshire."
