About this map

First Connecticut Lake dominates the northwest corner of this 2021 survey, serving as a primary water source for the headwaters of the Connecticut River. The surrounding landscape in this part of Coos County is defined by steep summits and high ridges, notably Magalloway Mtn and Diamond Ridge, which overlook a complex network of drainage basins. The eastern and southern slopes are drained by the multiple forks of the Dead Diamond River, including the East Branch Dead Diamond River, Middle Br Dead Diamond River, and West Br Dead Diamond River.

Logging roads and forest management routes such as Magalloway Rd and Cedar Stream Rd provide the only access through this densely wooded terrain. Small water bodies like Judd Pond and named peaks like Hedgehog Nubble offer specific points of orientation within the vast timberlands. The hydrography is particularly detailed, tracing numerous small streams including Hellgate Brook and Buckhorn Brook as they descend from the high ground.
