2015 Map of Mount Cardigan

About this map

Mount Cardigan anchors the eastern topography of this Grafton County landscape, where the granite peaks and high ridges give way to a network of named brooks and rivers. The settlement of Orange is located near the Orange Common Cem, serving as a focal point for the mountain roads that navigate the complex terrain. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the Cockermouth River and the S Br Baker River, while smaller bodies of water like Derby Pond and Mirror Lake dot the elevations. Local history is traced through family-named landmarks such as Tuttle Hill, Hoyt Hill, and Kimball Hill. The map detail shows the transition from the high summit of Mowglis Mtn down into the Orange Basin, illustrating how the early road networks, including RT 118 and Province RD, were dictated by the granite outcroppings and steep valleys of the New Hampshire interior.
