Issued at the classic 1:24,000 scale, the map belongs to the USGS tradition of precise, field-oriented cartography, created for navigation, planning, science, and public land understanding. Its provisional status gives it particular interest: rather than a fully finalized quadrangle, it reflects an authoritative working view of the landscape as compiled and released in 1987. Centered on Moultonborough, Sandwich, and Center Sandwich, the map captures a richly varied terrain of lake basins, wooded slopes, rural roads, brooks, ponds, and settled villages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is clean, technical, and deeply informative, with contour lines giving structure to every ridge, hollow, and hillside. Elevation is not merely recorded but made visible, allowing Red Hill, Beech Hill, Fay Mountain, Carrol Hill, and the surrounding uplands to emerge as sculptural forms across the sheet. Water features are equally prominent, from Squam Lake and Little Squam Lake to Moores Pond, Squaw Cove, and the branching streams of Cassie Brook, Bean Brook, Sleeper Brook, and Pine River. This is a map made to be read closely: roads, shorelines, woodlands, and relief combine to reveal how human settlement adapts to a rugged, lake-filled New Hampshire landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSquam Lake is one of the map’s great focal points, celebrated for its quiet coves, wooded islands, and enduring association with New England’s natural beauty. Known to many as the filming location for “On Golden Pond,” the lake appears here in its broader geographic setting, connected visually and ecologically to Little Squam Lake, Bear Island, and surrounding communities. Nearby Moultonborough, long associated with lakeside recreation and seasonal life, is shown within a network of roads, hills, and shore settlements. The presence of Long Island, Cattle Landing, Wolfeboro Bay, and Lake Winnipesaukee situates the map within one of New Hampshire’s most beloved recreational and scenic regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the lakes, the map reaches into a landscape shaped by forests, valleys, and old rural communities. The White Mountain National Forest appears as part of the wider upland context, while Shaker Valley and Center Sandwich evoke the region’s layered cultural history, including agriculture, religious community, and small-town New England settlement. Castle in the Clouds, one of the area’s most distinctive landmarks, adds another historical dimension: an early twentieth-century mountaintop estate overlooking the Lakes Region. Camp Jolly, Tanglewood Road, and scattered local place names give the map an intimate quality, preserving the vocabulary of everyday geography alongside better-known destinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a 1987 record, “Center Sandwich” offers more than navigational utility; it preserves a moment in the evolution of land use, conservation, and recreation around Squam Lake and Moultonborough. The map captures the balance between village settlement, forested terrain, lakefront development, protected lands, and rural roads before subsequent decades of growth and preservation reshaped parts of the region. For historians, collectors, and admirers of New Hampshire, it is a refined cartographic document of place: precise enough for field interpretation, yet evocative enough to suggest summer cottages, wooded trails, clear water, mountain views, and the quiet complexity of the Lakes Region’s terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCities, towns and places on this map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoultonborough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquam Lake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandwich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter Sandwich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBear Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Squam Lake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Mountain National Forest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamp Jolly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWolfeboro Bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCattle Landing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastle in the Clouds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLake Winnipesaukee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaker Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeech Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquaw Cove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFay Mountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTanglewood Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassie Brook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBean Brook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeper Brook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePine River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrol Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoores Pond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistorical context \u0026amp; cartographic details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap name: \u003cem\u003eCenter Sandwich\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated in 1987, with a 1987 imprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical 1:24,000-scale topographical map.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIssued with provisional status.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses a clear, functional USGS cartographic style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes contour lines to show elevation changes and terrain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses color gradients to enhance geographic features and improve terrain interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows a varied landscape of hills, lakes, forests, and water bodies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServes as a historical record of the area’s geographical and ecological character as of 1987.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for understanding later land use changes, development, and conservation efforts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for a particular place?\u003c\/strong\u003e Review the detailed images to confirm that the town, landmark or feature you have in mind appears on the map.
