[Bizer]

Google Maps incorrectly shows the towns of three islands.

When I started research on Bizer maps, I stopped at town assessors' offices. They are a wealth of information. I asked the Meredith assessor why there was no tax listing for Little Six Mile Island. The assessor showed me a 1909(?) state law. That law declared Little Six Mile Island and Ozone Island to be in Moultonborough even though Google Maps thinks those two islands are in Meredith. That same law declared Fivemile Island to be entirely within Meredith even though Google Maps puts half of that island in Moultonborough.

When I went to the Moultonborough assessors' offices, it seems that they knew nothing about Little Six Mile Island and Ozone Island. I was handing Moultonborough a few thousand in taxes for that year. So I went back to their offices three months later to see what they had done about taxing those two islands. Total apathy. They had done nothing and did not intend to do anything that year. The owners were going to get one more year without paying real estate taxes.
