About this map

Franconia Notch State Park anchors this topographic study, revealing the landscape of the White Mountain National Forest as it appeared in the late 1960s with updates through the 1980s. The geography is defined by the Pemigewasset River corridor, which serves as the primary artery for both transportation and community development. The village of Lincoln is visible at the junction of the Kancamagus Highway and the river, featuring its local infrastructure like Lin-Wood High Sch and industrial waste ponds.

Outdoor recreation and natural landmarks are central to this area's identity, with the Appalachian Trail winding through the high peaks and well-known features such as The Flume and The Basin clearly marked. The map documents the growth of the North Woodstock area and shows the Ski Area on Loon Mtn. These details provide a clear view of how the region's tourism and residential patterns integrated with the steep terrain of the White Mountains during this period.
