1967 Map of Lincoln

About this map

The Pemigewasset River corridor serves as the primary artery through this mountainous landscape, anchoring the settlements of Lincoln and North Woodstock. This mid-century survey documents a transition toward a recreation-based economy, evidenced by the development of the Kancamagus Highway and the Ski Area on the slopes of Loon Mtn. Within the protected boundaries of the White Mountain National Forest and Franconia Notch State Park, the map records numerous natural landmarks and early tourist sites including The Basin, The Pool, and The Flume. Cultural markers of the era include the Lincoln Airport, a Drive-in Theater, and the Lin-Wood High Sch. Rugged hiking infrastructure is well-defined by the Appalachian Trail and Franconia Ridge Trail, connecting peaks such as Mt Liberty and Mt Flume.
