About this map

Cardigan Mtn State Forest dominates this landscape in Grafton County, where the high peaks of Mt Cardigan and Firescrew overlook a network of mountain brooks and small settlements. The terrain is defined by its steep elevations and clear drainage patterns, including the South Branch Baker River and the Cockermouth River. Small rural clusters like Bucks Corner and Orange are connected by local routes and the Province Road, while evidence of earlier land use is visible in the scattered gravel pits and a designated Mine near the western boundary.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several specific landmarks, including a Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle and distinctive natural features such as Cilleys Cave and the Orange Basin. The mapping also highlights the recreational footprint of the area, showing the Snowmobile Trail and extensive conservation lands within Welton Falls State Forest and the surrounding state-managed tracts.
