1932 Map of Franconia

About this map

The Gale River and Pemigewasset River valleys define the settlement patterns of this White Mountains region as they appeared in the early 1930s. The village of Lincoln serves as a local industrial hub, anchored by the Boston and Maine RR and the East Branch Pemigewasset River, while Franconia and North Woodstock occupy the northern and southern entries to the notch. The mapping highlights the early recreational infrastructure of the era, from the Profile Golf Club and Franconia Bike Path to numerous mountain shelters and trails like the Greenleaf Trail. Notable landmarks such as The Basin, Echo Lake, and Profile Lake sit along the primary corridor of the Daniel Webster Highway No. 3, which was the main artery through the steep terrain of the Franconia and Bethlehem ranges.
