About this map

Ossipee Mountains dominate the northwestern landscape of this Carroll County region, where the terrain transitions from steep peaks like Sentinel Mtn to the clustered ponds of the central valley. Small settlements including Tuftonboro, Water Village, and Chickville are connected by a network of local roads that weave around significant water bodies such as Dan Hole Pond and Lower Beech Pond. The presence of the Carroll County Courthouse near the eastern edge suggests a civic hub, while the Chickville Airport highlights the area's modern infrastructure.

Local history is well-preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Pray-Goldsmith Cem and Beacham Cem. The hydrography of the area is particularly intricate, with the Melvin River, Nineteenmile Brook, and Beech River draining the upland slopes. For researchers, the map provides a clear look at the distribution of community landmarks, from the Chickville Cem New to the recreational Mountain View Field, showing a landscape defined by its mountain ridges and valley settlements.
