Route 28 Alton to Ossipee

Lots of helpful information yesterday!

The named "Wolfeboro Road" (which is still there, named "Old Wolfeboro Road") took an inland route (and also a much higher elevation), and joined the route designated as NH 28 somewhere in East Alton.

The original NH 28 followed Main Street to Alton Bay, and then followed present-day 28A to at least the present 28A-Chestnut Cove Road intersection.

From the present 28A-Chestnut Cove Road intersection to the current 28-Roberts Cove Road intersection, the layout of original NH 28 remains unknown.

Original NH 28 then followed Roberts Cove Road over its entire present course, except that I suspect it followed the current left-bearing blind spur rather than the present right-bearing main road to rejoin the Wolfeboro Road in more or less its present alignment to Weston Auto Body.

The two questions left are:

1) What was the path of original NH 28 from the current 28A-Chestnut Cove intersection to the current southerly NH 28-Roberts Cove Road intersection?

2) Where did the inland "Wolfeboro Road" join original NH 28?

I suspect that the original NH 28 included present Quarry Road and Gilman's Corner Road, as well - but between Gilman's Corner Road+current NH 28 and current 28A+Chestnut Cove Road, I'm lost.
