2012 Map of Chatham

About this map

North Chatham and Chatham represent the primary settlements in this remote highland corridor, where the Cold River and Little Cold River dominate the eastern drainage. This survey highlights a landscape dedicated to backcountry recreation and forestry, evidenced by the presence of the Cold River AMC Camp and several primitive sites like the Baldface Shelter and Province Pond Shelter. The terrain is defined by a series of significant peaks, including North Baldface, South Baldface, and Sable Mountain, which frame the deep Charles Ravine. Drainage patterns are intricate, with Slippery Brook and McDonough Brook cutting through the western slopes. Local travel is confined to a few established routes such as Main Rd and family-named connectors like Toad Hill Rd and Robbins Hill Rd, which serve the small clusters of homes and seasonal outposts scattered along the valley floor.
