1995 Map of Mount Carrigain

About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates this landscape, showing a high-altitude wilderness managed for both preservation and recreation during the mid-1990s. The area is defined by the massive peaks of Mount Carrigain, Mount Hancock, and Mount Kancamagus, which are linked by an extensive network of footpaths including the Signal Ridge Trail and Desolation Trail. Protected regions such as the Pemigewasset Wilderness and the Nancy Pond Scenic Area highlight a conservation-focused era where the primary infrastructure consists of shelters and overlooks rather than permanent settlements. Transport through this high terrain is limited to the Sawyer River Road and the Kancamagus Pass, providing access to the Swift River drainage. The absence of industrial development, save for a lone Gravel Pit, underscores the transition of Livermore into a territory primarily valued for its natural resources and backcountry access.
