Place names on Winni
Speaking of Greene's Basin...there is a reasonable sized island in Greene's Basin that my family owned (probably in the early part of the 1900s) and we used to camp on that island, having paddled from either Tuftonboro, or, all the way from Winter Harbor. We called the island 'Wyan-isle', a combination of Wyanoke and island. Wyanoke was the name of the summer camp my family operated in Winter Harbor (not a family 'camp', but a commercial business with 225 + campers and 75+ staff). We sold the island sometime before 1940.
