2021 Map of Diamond Pond

About this map

Upper Kidderville stands as the primary settlement in this mountainous pocket of Coos County, where the high-altitude hydrology of the Mohawk River and its multiple branches define the terrain. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and isolated peaks, such as Tumble Dick Mtn, Sanguinary Mtn, and Keazer Mtn. Significant water bodies like Diamond Pond and its smaller counterpart, Little Diamond Pond, serve as central landmarks, with the Swift Diamond River draining the eastern slopes. The geography is marked by local family and descriptive names for the high ground, including Harvey Swell, Holden Hill, and Van Dyck Mtn. Access to these remote elevations is facilitated by a system of logging and local roads such as Diamond Pond Rd and Lost Nation Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to the timber and recreation economies of northern New Hampshire.
