2018 Map of Jackson

About this map

The Ellis River and Wildcat Brook converge near the heart of Jackson, a region defined by its complex network of recreational trails and high-elevation terrain. This 2018 survey documents the intricate topography of the southern White Mountain National Forest, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the Wildcat Ridge. Significant vertical relief is mapped through numerous peaks including Black Mtn, Eagle Mtn, and the distinctive North Doublehead. Local landmarks like the Honeymoon Bridge and Jackson Falls emphasize the area's river-centric development, while specialized routes such as the Doublehead Ski Trail (Snow) and Bald Land Trail highlight the long-standing importance of mountain tourism. Smaller settlements and named locales like Ducks Head, Dundee, and Goodrich Falls provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying Carroll County's residential footprint in the early 21st century.
