2021 Map of Freedom

About this map

Freedom and Effingham Falls anchor this Carroll County landscape, where the Ossipee River flows through a complex network of bays and inlets. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of lakeside living and seasonal recreation, particularly concentrated at Ossipee Lake Shores and Long Sands. To the north, Purity Lake and the settlement of East Madison are surrounded by a rugged upland of named peaks, including Blazo Mtn and Cragged Mtn. The terrain is marked by significant topographical variation, rising from the wetlands of Heath Pond to the prominence of Green Mtn and Hanson Top. Local genealogy and historical continuity are represented by features like Lakeview Cem near the village center of Freedom. This modern record details the intricate shoreline of Broad Bay, Leavitt Bay, and Berry Bay, reflecting how water bodies have shaped development in this New Hampshire corridor.
