The northeastern reaches of Lake Winnipesaukee dominate this landscape, where the waters of Melvin Bay and Moultonborough Bay meet a complex shoreline of points and islands. The settlement of Melvin Village serves as a focal point along the coast, situated where the Melvin River enters the lake. Further south, the map details the waterfront communities of Wawbeek and Union Wharf, while Center Tuftonboro sits slightly inland, marked by the Town Hall Cem. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the Ossipee Mountains, featuring prominent peaks such as Mt Shaw and Bald Knob. This contrast between the island-dotted waters of Winnipesaukee and the high elevation of the northern range highlights the unique geography of this Belknap and Carroll County border region. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds like Bodge Cem and Edgerly Cem, alongside newer developments such as the alpine-inspired street names of Suissevale.
