About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates this topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and remote water bodies. The Pond of Safety and Godfrey Pond sit high among the peaks of the Crescent Range, feeding the headwaters of the Upper Ammonoosuc River and Brandy Brook. These drainage patterns demonstrate the importance of the high country in directing the region's water resources toward the populated valleys.

Settlement is concentrated at the southern and eastern edges of the quadrangle, where the town of Berlin and the community of Randolph Hill provide a contrast to the high ridges of Mount Crescent and Mt Randolph. Local landmarks such as Lookout Ledge and Ice Gulch indicate a terrain that has long served as a destination for navigation and recreation. The network of forest roads, including the Kilkenny Loop and Isolation Godfrey Dam Rd, highlights the infrastructure required to manage these extensive woodlands.
