               Where is Cardigan? Location explains the general or specific location of something. Relative location is the general area of something usually explaining the distance of an area from something else. For example, Hopkinton New Hampshire is roughly 45 to 50 miles away from Mount Cardigan.
               Absolute location is the exact location of something using latitude and longitude. The latitude of mount cardigan is 43 degrees 38 minutes 30 seconds North. The longitude is 071 degrees 54 minutes 19 seconds West.
               Mount Cardigan is about 35- 37 miles away from Hopkinton according to google earth pro. Cardigan Mountain is also about North West of Hopkinton, New Hampshire also according to google earth pro. Relative location is the general location of something that does not use coordinates.
               The physical description of Mount Cardigan could be the mountain itself. But also the trees and rock placement is natural. The fallen trees are also an example of physical geography because the trees have fallen mostly during storms which are natural. The rivers are also an amazing example of physical geography but also a great example of movement as well because the water is moving across the surface of the earth. Another example is the weeds growing on the borders of the fields on Duke meadow.
               There are alot of different examples of cultural geography on Mount Cardigan. The trails were made, the lodge was made, the fire tower on the summit was made, the carvings on the bare rock summit are all examples of cultural geography The markers for the trails on the trees and rocks and the signs to mark trails and meadows are all trail markers. The lodge is also a huge example of cultural geography The man-made pond in the front of the lodge is also an example because it was made by humans as well as the canoe and the docks in the water. Another example of cultural geography are the old cellar holes in the ground that are made from straight rocks.
