About this map

Crawford Notch State Park serves as the topographic centerpiece of this 1980s-era survey, highlighting the corridor along the Saco River and the historical mountain passage. The map documents significant local landmarks such as Crawford House and Willey House, alongside the Willey House Camps, which point to the area's enduring role in White Mountains tourism and heritage. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring prominent summits like Mt Willard, Mt Field, and Mt Willey.

Heavy emphasis is placed on the extensive network of recreational paths, including the Appalachian Trail, Zealand Trail, and Ethan Pond Trail, which connect interior points like Zealand Pond and Shoal Pond. The presence of numerous waterfalls, such as Arethusa Falls, Ripley Falls, and Thoreau Falls, underscores the hydrological complexity of the White Mountain National Forest before modern developments altered these protected wilderness corridors.
