1930 Map of Ossipee Lake

About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Carroll County landscape, where the Saco River and Swift River cut through the granite uplands of Albany and Conway. The 1930 survey highlights a transition between the recreation-focused north, featuring landmarks like the Clement Inn and the massive glacial erratic Madison Boulder, and the lake-driven economy further south. Silver Lake and Ossipee Lake serve as focal points for settlements such as Madison and Moultonville, while the Boston and Maine Railroad provides vital connections via West Ossipee Mt Whittier Sta. The map records a dense network of local education and faith, from the Center Ossipee Mountain View Sch to the remote Mountain Ch, alongside industry at Lords Mill.
