About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the border of New Hampshire and Maine. The rugged terrain is defined by high peaks like Sable Mtn and Eastman Mtn, with a dense network of hiking and snowmobile routes such as the Baldface Circle Trl and the Bradley Brook Snomo (Corr 19) Trl providing access to the interior. Settlement is concentrated along the eastern edge in the communities of North Chatham and Chatham, where the Cold River valley offers more level ground between the steeper slopes.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family-named sites such as Chandler Cem and Charles Cem, reflecting the early families who inhabited this valley near the Maine state line. The map also captures the isolation of Mountain Pond and Province Pond, which are tucked away from the primary road network of Main Rd and Stow Rd. The transition from the Wild River Wilderness in the north to the managed forest lands further south illustrates the varying degrees of conservation across the White Mountains.
