1930 Map of Ossipee Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The glacial geology and railroad-era settlements of Carroll County dominate this landscape, anchored by the massive Madison Boulder and the wide waters of Ossipee Lake. This 1930s-era geography shows a region defined by its topography and the twin lifelines of the Maine Central and Boston and Maine railroads. While the northern reaches are held within the White Mountain National Forest, the southern valleys are dotted with small village centers and depots such as Mt Whittier Sta and Lakewood Sta. Local history is captured through an extensive network of schoolhouses, including Sidehill Sch and Downs Sch, and rural landmarks like the Davis Meetinghouse. The map illustrates the early development of seasonal recreation at spots like Clement Inn and the Chocorua Inn, marking the transition of the White Mountains from a timber and rail economy to a destination for summer visitors.
