2012 Map of Crawford Notch

About this map

Crawford House stands at the northern gateway of this high mountain pass, marking a landscape defined by dramatic geological features and a long history of tourism. The terrain drops through the narrow gap of Zealand Notch, where the N Fork E Br Pemigewasset River and Saco River drain opposite sides of the divide. The map documents numerous landmarks essential to the region's heritage, including the Willey House and nearby Willey House Camps, which recall the early pioneers and travelers who navigated the Notch. Hikers and historians can trace the paths to significant natural features like Zealand Falls, Arethusa Falls, and Ripley Falls, or find the Ethan Pond Shelter along the higher elevations. From the heights of Mount Tom to the distinctive profile of Elephant Head, the survey details the water bodies and summits that have made this a focal point of the White Mountains.
