==Geography== [[File:Frankenstein Cliff and Mt. Washington.jpg|thumb|Frankenstein Cliff {{circa|1905}}]] According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert|48.6|sqkm|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|48.4|sqkm|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|0.3|sqkm|order=flip|1}}, or 0.56%, are water.<ref name="CenPopGazetteer2021"/> The shape of Hart's Location is unusual: about {{convert|11|mi|km|0}} long and {{convert|1.5|mi|km|1}} wide, with crooked boundaries that echo the confines of [[Crawford Notch]], threaded by the upper [[Saco River]] and [[U.S. Route 302 in New Hampshire|U.S. Route 302]] near the centerline of the town, and pinched from both sides between steep mountains and in some areas sheer cliffs above. This anomaly is heightened on maps that show county lines: [[Coos County, New Hampshire|Coos County]] lies immediately to the east and [[Grafton County, New Hampshire|Grafton County]] to the west, but Hart's Location is part of [[Carroll County, New Hampshire|Carroll County]], though barely connected to it. The highest point in Hart's Location is {{convert|3900|ft|m}} above [[sea level]] along the town's western boundary, beneath the summit of {{convert|4285|ft|m|adj=on}} [[Mount Willey]]. [[Arethusa Falls]], New Hampshire's highest waterfall, located in the neighboring township of [[Livermore, New Hampshire|Livermore]], is a popular hiking destination with access from U.S. Route 302 in Hart's Location. The town lies fully within the Saco River [[Drainage basin|watershed]].<ref name=watershed>{{cite book |title=Water Use in New Hampshire: An Activities Guide for Teachers |url=http://nh.water.usgs.gov/Publications/nh.intro.html |last=Foster |first=Debra H. |author2=Batorfalvy, Tatianna N. |author3= Medalie, Laura |publisher=U.S. Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey |year=1995}}</ref> The town is a popular [[ice climbing]] destination in the winter months.
