1998 Map of Ossipee Lake

About this map

Ossipee Lake and the Bearcamp River basin dominate this landscape at the intersection of several New Hampshire towns, including Madison, Tamworth, and Ossipee. The map documents the region's transition from its rail-oriented past to a recreation-based economy. Evidence of the former rail infrastructure is found at West Ossipee and Center Ossipee, where station names linger in the labels. Significant conservation and seasonal areas are prominent, such as White Lake State Park, Camp Weetamoe, and the Heath Pond Bog State Natural Area. The southern portion is defined by the Ossipee Mountains, including Mount Whittier and Grant Peak, which overlook the river valleys and the clustered settlements of Moultonville and Ossipee Valley.
