2018 Map of Crawford Notch

About this map

Crawford Notch serves as the focal point of this mountainous landscape where the Saco River begins its descent. The terrain is defined by the high peaks of the White Mountains, including Mount Willard and Mount Willey, which flank the narrow passage of the notch. A significant network of historical and recreational paths is evident, from the storied Crawford Path and Edmands Path to the modern Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding through the high elevations. The importance of the rail and road corridor is clear as Crawford Notch Road follows the narrow valley floor alongside Saco Lake. To the west, the remote character of the White Mountain National Forest is highlighted by features like Thoreau Falls and Zealand Notch, illustrating the dramatic drainage patterns of the North Fork East Branch Pemigewasset River.
