2018 Map of Franconia

About this map

Franconia Notch serves as the dramatic centerpiece of this survey, where the Pemigewasset River flows between the towering massifs of the White Mountains. To the east, the high ridgeline is defined by Mt Lafayette and Mt Lincoln, while Cannon Mtn dominates the western skyline above the waters of Profile Lake. The northern portion of the map transitions from these high peaks to the valley floor, where the village of Franconia sits along the Gale River. Evidence of the region's long-standing recreational and conservation history is visible through the extensive network of trails and the borders of the White Mountain National Forest. Detailed features such as Elmwood Cem and the Franconia Airport provide local context for the settlement, while landmarks like Artists Bluff and Bridal Veil Falls highlight the unique topography that has drawn visitors to this part of Grafton County for generations.
