1967 Map of Franconia

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Franconia Notch serves as the focal point for this survey, where the geological and cultural landmarks of the White Mountains converge. The village of Franconia sits in the northwest, home to Franconia College and the Elmwood Cem, while the landscape to the south is defined by the steep elevation of the White Mountain National Forest. The map documents the mid-century infrastructure supporting local recreation, including the Ski Lift on Cannon Mountain and the development of Franconia Notch State Park. Notable hiking landmarks like Lonesome Lake Hut, Greenleaf Hut, and the Appalachian Trail are detailed alongside the legendary Old Man of the Mountain silhouette overlooking Profile Lake. This record captures a moment when the mountain pass was transitioning into a modern recreation hub while maintaining the primitive network of paths like the Cascade Brook Trail and Garfield Ridge Trail.
