About this map

The Ossipee Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Carroll County region, where the terrain drops from summits like Canaan Mtn and Sentinel Mtn toward a series of significant glacial basins. The geography is defined by a heavy concentration of water bodies, including the expansive Dan Hole Pond and the twin reservoirs of Upper Beech Pond and Lower Beech Pond. These water sources fed numerous drainages such as the Melvin River and Beech River, which influenced the placement of early settlements.

Small residential clusters and historic crossroads are scattered throughout the town of Tuftonboro, from the civic hub at Center Tuftonboro to the outlying Water Village and Federal Corner. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at Pollys Crossing and various Gravel Pits, while conservation areas like the Heath Pond Bog State Natural Area and Garland Pond State Wildlife Management Area preserve the area's specialized wetlands.
