1930 Map of Cardigan

About this map

The granite peaks and upland basins of the Mt Cardigan massif dominate this landscape during the late 1920s, a period when the Cardigan State Forest was establishing its footprint in the White Mountain foothills. The rugged interior is marked by isolated rural outposts like the Story Sch and Wild Meadow Sch, reflecting a high-elevation township structure before the consolidation of rural districts. The eastern edge of the sheet centers on the clear waters of Newfound Lake, where recreational landmarks like Nutting Beach and Whittemore Point began to define the shoreline's character.
