About this map

The Bearcamp River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2015 study of Carroll County, where the village of Tamworth sits near the confluence of Swift River and several mountain brooks. To the south, the northern reaches of the Ossipee Mountains dominate the terrain, featuring peaks like Mt Roberts and Black Snout Mtn. This intersection of high relief and river lowlands defined the settlement patterns of the region, concentrating development in hamlets such as Whittier, South Tamworth, and Bennett Corners.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of early family plots and community grounds through sites like Riverside Cem, Hubbard Cem, and Stevenson Cem. The landscape is a network of water and wood, with Red Hill Pond and Jackman Pond tucked between hills while historical connections like Durgin Bridge span the local waterways. The topography reflects the transition from the relatively flat valley floor to the prominent ridges of Johnson Mtn and Mt Whittier.
