1956 Map of Cardigan

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Mt Cardigan serves as the focal point of this New Hampshire landscape, where the Appalachian Mtn Trail and several local paths like the Manning Trail and Holt Trail converge on its slopes. The topography is defined by the sharp transition from the granite peaks of the Cardigan range to the waters of Newfound Lake in the east. Settlement patterns reflect the 1950s rural economy, with clusters at Grafton Center and Hebron, while the presence of a Lookout Tower and Wellington State Park indicates the growing importance of conservation and recreation in the region. Resource extraction remains visible through several features including a Mica Mine (Inactive) and a Garnet Mine (Inactive). The rail infrastructure is represented by the Grafton Sta, connecting these remote upland communities and industrial sites to the wider corridor through the Smith River valley.
