About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates the northwest corner of this 1958 revision, where the Kancamagus Highway follows the course of the Swift River. This landscape is defined by its transition from the steep ledges and peaks of the mountains down to the expansive waters of Ossipee Lake and Conway Lake. The era’s transportation network is anchored by the Boston and Maine Railroad, with key stops at West Ossipee (Mt Whittier Sta) and Center Ossipee (Mountainview Sta).

Cultural landmarks like the Madison Boulder and Davis Meetinghouse highlight the deep-rooted settlement history of Carroll County. Notable lakeside recreation and conservation areas include White Lake State Park and Bowditch-Runnells State Forest, alongside several summer camps such as Camp Weetamoe and Camp Marist. Small villages like Snowville, Eaton Center, and Effingham Falls appear as established clusters connected by winding mountain roads and river valleys.
