About this map

The Pemigewasset River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and tourism in this 1960s study of the White Mountains. The town of Lincoln and the neighboring village of North Woodstock anchor the valley, showing a mid-century landscape where industry and recreation meet. The Boston and Maine railroad line parallels the river, passing through Fairview while the newly established Kancamagus Highway begins its eastward ascent into the White Mountain National Forest.

Evidence of the era's roadside culture is visible near the valley floor, including a Drive-in Theater and a Golf Course alongside established landmarks like the Covered Bridge and the Riverside Cem. Higher elevations are defined by peaks such as Mt Liberty and Mt Flume, with a developed Ski Area on the slopes of Loon Mtn South Peak signaling the region's transition toward a year-round recreation economy.
