1911 cloth map of "Winnipissiogee"

Congrats on receiving such a great Winnipesaukee gift/keepsake!!! I am a collecter of old Winni maps as well & have a copy of that same map dated 1911. I was fortunate however in that I found my copy (plus an even earlier version dated 1907) stuffed in the bottom of a magazine rack in my Grandparents' cottage many years ago....fortunately I didn't have to go searching for it like Winnipiseogee did. My Grandparents had purchased their lake cottage in 1919 and the maps probably had been buried under the magazines for years.

As an update to this post, I was just fortunate enough to be able to purchase another copy of this 1911 map on eBay. Checking eBay for old Winnipesaukee/Winnipissiogee Lake maps is part of my daily ritual. Not really sure why I bought a map that I already possessed but I just couldn't let such a rare collectible get away (guess I'm a little obsessed). Here are pictures of my three favorite maps (a 1907, 1911 and 1959 map:
