About this map

The Saco River valley forms the primary corridor of settlement and transport through this mountain landscape, centered on the village of Bartlett. The township is surrounded by the significant protected terrain of the White Mountain National Forest and the Presidential Range-Dry River Wilderness Area. To the west, the former logging center of Livermore and the small station at Sawyers River illustrate the era's reliance on the mountain-and-river geography for industry.

Elevations rise sharply from the riverbanks toward peaks like Mt Parker, Mt Tremont, and Mt Langdon. The map records specific recreational and natural landmarks including the Rocky Gorge on the Swift River and the prominent Sawyer Rock. Smaller water bodies like McKiels Pond and Sawyer Pond are tucked into the high ridges, while a Cem near the main settlement provides a touchstone for local genealogical research.
