1995 Map of Carter Dome

About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates this mid-1990s landscape, a region defined by high peaks and specialized recreation. The network of trails and roads centers on the Peabody River valley, where the historic Glen House serves as a gateway to the Mt Washington Auto Road. This era shows a well-established infrastructure for hikers and skiers, with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traversing the ridgelines from Carter Notch, where the Carter Notch Hut is situated, northward over Carter Dome and Middle Carter Mountain. Large land tracts such as Beans Purchase and Thompson and Meserves Purchase reflect the historic land grant system of the White Mountains. Lowland developments like Dolly Copp and Barnes Field provide evidence of early organized camping and forest management near the Moose River.
