About this map

The Saco River and Swift River converge near the village of Conway, shaping a landscape defined by glacial ponds and prominent granite peaks in the late 1980s. This interior portion of Carroll County illustrates the transition from the active settlement at Center Conway to the quieter, more elevated terrain of Eaton and Madison. Large water bodies like Conway Lake and Crystal Lake dominate the central valley, while numerous smaller ponds such as Pea Porridge Pond and Dolloff Pond are scattered among the ridges.

Evidence of local history is found in the scattered Cem labels and established hamlets like Snowville and Eaton Center. The northern reach of the sheet includes a portion of the White Mountain National Forest, reflecting the region's long-standing balance between timber resources and settlement. Named summits including Atkinson Mtn, Lyman Mtn, and Foss Mountain provide a clear view of the complex topography that constrained early road networks and community development.
