Default Belknap Mountain Range

I was told that the Belknap Mtn range is what was once a volcano. The last ice age erode the volcano to what you see today.

The Ossipee Mtn range is also an extinct volcano. It is much more obvious today.

Find the Central Lakes Region Cartographic map, and you can see the distinction.

After the last ice age the lake was much higher. The outlet was Alton flowing to the ocean where Merrymeeting River is today.
