About this map

The eastern shores of Lake Winnipesaukee and the expansive waters of Lake Wentworth anchor this survey of Carroll County. The Boston and Maine RR winds through the landscape, connecting the bustling village of Wolfeboro with smaller railroad outposts like Cotton Valley Station and Burleyville Station. This 1920s environment is defined by a dense network of local institutions, including Brewster Academy near the shoreline and numerous district schools like the Garland Brown School and Milliken School.

Industry and daily life are etched into the terrain through landmarks such as Chases Mill on the Pine River and several cemeteries including Lakeview Cemetery. The settlement pattern reflects a series of distinct villages and corners, from Roland Park in the north to Sanbornville and East Alton in the south. The land between these hubs is filled with family-named heights like Moody Mountain and Thompson Hill, illustrating the complex topography that shaped New Hampshire's early 20th-century development.
