1932 Map of Franconia

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Franconia Notch serves as the central corridor for this 1932 topographic study, where the Daniel Webster Highway winds through the steep terrain of the White Mountain National Forest. This era shows a landscape where industrial logging and nascent tourism coexist. A Logging RR extends deep into the wilderness along the East Branch Pemigewasset River, illustrating the heavy timber operations of the early 20th century. Meanwhile, the presence of the Profile Golf Club, the Greenleaf Shelter, and the The Flume point toward the region's growing reputation for outdoor recreation.
