About this map

The Ammonoosuc River winds through this New Hampshire mountain landscape, serving as a primary corridor for early transit and settlement. The town of Bethlehem sits at the heart of the map, flanked by several smaller historic communities such as Maplewood and Pierce Bridge. The local road network, including Miller Rd and Harriman Rd, connects these valley settlements to higher terrain features like Mount Agassiz and Cleveland Mountain.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography, with Forest Lake and Burns Pond situated in the northern reaches, while numerous smaller streams like Hatch Brook and Fowler Brook drain the hillsides. The presence of Apple Hill Campground and the naming of peaks like Mount Misery and Garnet Mountain reflect a landscape defined by its high-elevation topography and long-standing role as a destination for outdoor recreation and summer residents.
