About this map

Mt Moosilauke anchors this 1930s survey, representing a high-altitude intersection of recreational and scientific history in the White Mountains. The summit is clearly marked with the Tiptop House and a Fire Tower, while the early path of the Appalachian Trail winds through the high terrain. To the north and west, the Ammonoosuc River and its various tributaries, such as Salmon Hole Brook, dictate the location of settlements like Lisbon and Sugar Hill.

Evidence of the region's diverse early 20th-century development appears in the presence of the State Sanitarium (Rumney) and numerous rural schoolhouses, including Scotland Sch and Ireland Sch. Transportation networks are well-defined, showing the Boston and Maine RR serving Sugar Hill Sta alongside early motor routes like the Dartmouth College Highway. The landscape is a mix of high peaks like Mt Clough and local agricultural communities found in the townships of Benton and Landaff.
