About this map

Center Sandwich sits as the central hub of this 1980s landscape, where the transition from the high peaks of the White Mountain National Forest to the northern reaches of Squam Lake is clearly documented. The map captures the area before modern development intensified, showing traditional settlements like North Sandwich and Whiteface connected by a network of brooks and ridges. Notable terrain features such as Mt Israel and the Red Hill State Lookout Tower anchor the topography, while the southern portion of the sheet transitions into the township of Moultonborough.

Evidence of the region's seasonal and utility history is seen in the Sandwich Wilderness Area and the presence of Camp Hale near the lakefront. Local transit and community life are marked by small landmarks like Chicks Corner and Sandwich Landing, which point to a long history of lake access and rural crossroad commerce. Several cemeteries are noted throughout the hills, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing families in this part of Carroll County.
