1932 Map of Franconia

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Franconia Notch serves as the focal point of this 1929 survey, where the rugged topography of the White Mountain National Forest is documented in sharp detail. The map reveals a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Mt Lafayette and Mt Lincoln down to the narrow corridors of the Pemigewasset River and Gale River. A distinct logging economy is evident through the presence of the Logging R R snaking along the East Branch Pemigewasset River, while the emerging recreation industry is marked by the Profile Golf Club, the Appalachian Trail, and several backcountry shelters. Civil engineering is noted at the U S G S Gage Sta and various benchmarks in Lincoln and North Woodstock, providing a technical look at the region's infrastructure before mid-century expansion.
