In New Hampshire, locations, grants, townships (which are different from towns), and purchases are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited).
History
[edit]The township takes its name from Richard Odell of Conway, who bought 23,751 acres (96.12 km2) from the state in 1834 for $1,863.[citation needed]
Geography
[edit]A substantial portion of the state-owned Nash Stream Forest lies within the township. There are three mountains, each having elevations above 3,000 feet (910 m): Muise Mountain, Whitcomb Mountain and Long Mountain, whose two summits are the two highest points in Odell, at 3,661 feet (1,116 m) above sea level each. There are only a few rough roads and no highways here.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 45.0 square miles (116.6 km2), of which 44.3 square miles (114.8 km2) are land and 0.69 square miles (1.8 km2), or 1.53%, are water.[1] The west side of the township drains to Nash Stream, while the east side drains to Phillips Brook. Both are south-flowing tributaries of the Upper Ammonoosuc River and part of the Connecticut River watershed.
