Mount Shaw is a mountain located within the Castle in the Clouds estate in Carroll County, New Hampshire. With a summit elevation of 2,990 feet (911 m) it is the highest of the Ossipee Mountains.
Although of only moderate elevation, the isolation of the Ossipee Mountains gives Shaw 2,330 ft (710 m) of prominence above the low ground separating it from the White Mountains, making it one of twelve peaks in New Hampshire with a prominence over 2,000 ft (610 m).
The north and southeast sides of Mt. Shaw drain into the Lovell and Dan Hole rivers, thence into the Ossipee River, Saco River and the Gulf of Maine. The southwest side drains into the Melvin River which flows into Lake Winnipesaukee, thence into the Winnipesaukee River, Merrimack River, and into the Gulf of Maine in Massachusetts.
Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or shaw:
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“When I speak of The Case for Equality I mean human equality; and that, of course, can only mean one thing: it means equality of income.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
