About this map

Mt Carrigain and its Signal Ridge dominate the center of this high-elevation landscape within the White Mountain National Forest. This modern record of the terrain preserves a network of backcountry travel routes that define the region's recreational character, from the Carrigain Notch Trail to the Signal Ridge Trail. The map details the drainage patterns of the East Branch Pemigewasset River and the Sawyer River, showing how water moves through high-altitude features like Norcross Pond and Nancy Pond before dropping through the Nancy Cascades.

Stillwater and the former logging town site of Livermore are situated at the edges of the wilderness, connected by historical corridors like the Livermore Trail. To the south, the Kancamagus Pass provides a vital passage near Mt Kancamagus, where the Swift River begins its descent. The map also records specialized winter routes, including the Nanamocomuck Ski Trail (Snow) and the Sawyer River Snomo (Snow) trail, reflecting the area's year-round usage.
