About this map

Errol sits at the junction of Clear Stream and the Androscoggin River, serving as a central point for this densely forested region of Coos County. The landscape is defined by massive land grants and townships, including Dixs Grant, Wentworths Location, and Second College Grant. These large tracts are crisscrossed by a complex network of waterways like the Swift Diamond River and Fourmile Brook, which historically supported the timber industry of northern New Hampshire.

Inland from the river valleys, the terrain rises sharply toward Rice Mountain and Black Mountain. Significant bodies of water such as Greenough Pond and Akers Pond are prominent features, while smaller landmarks like Ellingwood Falls and a Gaging Station along the river reflect the importance of water power and management. The lack of dense road networks, save for routes 16 and 26, underscores the remote, resource-oriented character of the area in the late twentieth century.
