2024 Map of Bethlehem

About this map

Bethlehem sits at the heart of this landscape, where the Ammonoosuc River carves a path through the high country of the White Mountain National Forest. The map documents a town defined by its elevation and seasonal recreation, with peaks like Mt Agassiz and Cleveland Mtn overlooking the valley floor. To the north, the smaller settlements of Alderbrook and Apthorp follow the river and the old rail corridors, now represented by routes like the P & O Recreational Rail Trl. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including the Mount Washington Cem, Maple Street Cem, and the more secluded Burns Cem near Burns Pond. The northern reaches are dominated by Forest Lake and the slopes of Dalton Mountain, illustrating the transition from local commerce to the protected wilderness that has long drawn visitors to this corner of New Hampshire.
