1967 Map of Franconia

About this map

Old Man of the Mountain overlooks the narrow notch in this detailed 1960s study, which highlights the recreation and conservation infrastructure of the White Mountain National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of Mt Lafayette and Mt Lincoln along the Franconia Ridge, while the valley floor shows the early development of the interstate system with numbered interchanges near Franconia. The map records the mid-century layout of Franconia Notch State Park, including the Lafayette Campground and Echo Lake ski areas.
