About this map

Squam Lake dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its complex shoreline defined by prominent features like Five Finger Point, Algonquin Point, and Metcalf Point. Small lakeside communities such as Rockywold and Deephaven are tucked along the northern bays, while the interior is marked by the steep rise of the Squam Mountains, including Mount Squam and Mount Percival. The map details a transition from the heavy recreation and residential presence on the water to the more isolated upland terrain of the Sandwich Notch area.

Transportation patterns follow the natural contours of the land, with Sandwich Notch Rd and Beebe River providing access into the northern highlands. Historical landmarks like the Bump Bridge and several named ponds, such as Kiah Pond and Moosilauke Pond, point to a landscape shaped by both early regional movement and long-standing conservation. The northern sector is notably less developed, featuring the Chickenboro Brook Reservoir and the high ridges of Campton Mountain.
