Lovewell Mountain, located northeast of the town center and with an elevation of 2,496 feet (761 m), is the highest point in town. As Edwin A. Charlton writes in New Hampshire As It Is (1855), the mountain "received its name from Captain John Lovewell, who was accustomed to ascend it for the purpose of discovering the wigwams of the Indians, and who, on one occasion, killed seven Indians near its summit." The Washington Town Common, elevation 1,507 feet (459 m), is the highest town center in the state. (The town hall of Clarksville in northern New Hampshire is located at a higher elevation—1,980 feet (600 m)—but there is no other village development there.)
