About this map

Tamworth and its surrounding villages stand at the northern edge of the Ossipee Mountains in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the Swift River and the Bearcamp River, which carve valleys through prominent local peaks such as Johnson Mtn and Black Snout Mtn. Smaller settlements like Whittier, South Tamworth, and Bennett Corners cluster along the river corridors and lower elevations, connected by historic routes like Whittier Rd and Vittum Hill Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of family-named landmarks and resting places, including Stevenson Cem and Hubbard Cem. The transition from the high ridges of Bald Mtn and Mt Roberts to the low-lying wetlands of Bearcamp Pond and Braga Pond illustrates the geographical constraints that shaped the development of these Carroll County communities over time.
