About this map

The Ammonoosuc River and its many tributaries, such as the Wild Ammonoosuc River, carve through the complex terrain of the White Mountain National Forest in this late-1920s topography. The map illustrates a rural landscape where industry and isolation meet, featuring the Boston and Maine RR following the river valley while remote landmarks like the Tiptop House and the State Sanitarium stand in the highlands.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the network of one-room schoolhouses that once served these mountain townships, from Scotland Sch to Pettyboro Sch. Significant elevations like Black Mtn, equipped with a Fire Tower, and the dramatic Jobildunk Ravine define the character of the eastern forest. The map also documents long-standing community markers, including the Moulton Hill Cemetery and the Kinsman Cemetery, situated among the peaks and river bends.
