About this map

Mt Osceola and the high summits of the White Mountain National Forest dominate this topographical study of the Grafton County highlands. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the East Branch Pemigewasset River and the Hancock Branch, which carve through deep notches and basins. Significant glacial and water features like the Greeley Ponds at Mad River Notch and the secluded Black Pond punctuate the heavily forested ridges.

Foot travel and historical logging routes provide the primary access to this landscape, including the Franconia Falls Trail and the Hancock Notch Trail. Named elevations such as Whaleback Mtn, Potash Knob, and Scar Ridge offer a clear picture of the area's complex geography, while locations like Lincoln Woods and Pine Island suggest the long history of timber and recreation in this part of the White Mountains.
