1946 Map of Crawford Notch

About this map

Maine Central rail lines navigate the steep grades of the White Mountains in this mid-century portrait of the Crawford Notch region. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation settlements of Crawford House and Willey House, locations that served as essential milestones for travelers and mountain workers alike. Along the Saco River, the small community of Notchland and the milling center at Livermore show the sparse but deliberate human footprint in a terrain dominated by granite peaks like Mt Carrigain and Mt Willey.
