2021 Map of Mount Chocorua

About this map

Passaconaway and the Albany Intervale anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, situated along the winding Swift River. This region within the White Mountain National Forest is defined by the high peaks of the Sandwich Range, including Mt Paugus and the distinctive Mt Chocorua. A complex network of historic paths and timber-era routes, such as the Bolles Trl and Oliverian Brook Xc Trl, crisscrosses the terrain, connecting high points like Whitin Ridge to former industrial sites like Paugus Mill. To the south, the settlements of Wonalancet, Ferncroft, and Birch Intervale sit along the Wonalancet River, offering a view of early mountain agriculture and community life. The presence of the Albany Cem and Effingham Cem provides genealogical touchpoints for families rooted in these granite-strewn valleys.
