1961 Map of Mt Grace

About this map

Warwick and its surrounding uplands define this landscape at the intersection of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-south ridges and hills, such as Mt Grace and Tully Mtn, which frame the small settlements of North Orange and Tully to the south. Water management and forestry are central themes, with significant acreage dedicated to the Warwick State Forest and the Mt Grace State Forest. Numerous reservoirs and ponds, including Richards Reservoir and Sheomet Lake, dot the valleys between the peaks. The placement of South Cem and Gate Gates Cem provides critical points for genealogical research in this rural portion of Franklin County. Local landmarks like the Lookout Tower and Camp Warwick illustrate how the area served as both a working landscape and a site for conservation and recreation during the mid-twentieth century.
