About this map

The Swift River and Bearcamp River define the local drainage of this northern Carroll County landscape in the late twentieth century. Settlement is concentrated along these watercourses, with the primary village of Tamworth joined by the smaller communities of Whittier, South Tamworth, and Bennett Corners. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the northern reaches of the Ossipee Mountains, where high peaks like Black Snout Mtn and Faraway Mtn contrast with the agricultural and residential corridors below.

A notable historical landmark is the Covered Bridge spanning the river near the center of Tamworth, a preservation of traditional New England architecture amidst modern road developments. The map also captures the extensive boundaries of the Hemenway State Forest and various family-named topographic features such as Vittum Hill and Cleveland Hill, alongside several small cemeteries designated simply as Cem.
