About this map

Center Sandwich and Moultonborough serve as the primary hubs in this lake-and-mountain landscape. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of Mount Israel and the Red Hill area, where a State Lookout Tower provides a vantage point over the complex hydrography of the region. Significant water bodies such as Squam Lake and Barville Pond are interconnected by the Red Hill River, while the northern reaches include the Whiteface River and Cold River valleys.

Social and community infrastructure is well-represented through landmarks like the Sandwich Fairgrounds and several historical burial sites, including Elm Hill Cem and Mason Cem. The map documents a blend of conservation and recreation, featuring the Mead Wilderness Base Organization Camp and the Moultonboro Airport, reflecting a region that balances managed forest lands with local transportation and seasonal tourism. Notable terrain features like Eagle Cliff and Watson Ledge highlight the prominent granite outcrops characteristic of Carroll County.
