About this map

Mount Tripyramid dominates the central landscape of this 2012 survey, surrounded by the high peaks and deep valleys of the Sandwich Range. The map documents a terrain defined by its water and high elevations, from the Norway Rapids along Mad River to the steep drops of Sabbaday Falls and Fletcher Cascades. Small outposts of human activity are scattered throughout the wilderness, including the Passaconaway Lodge, Camp Heermance, and the Flat Pond Shelter, marking the paths of those navigating this complex topography.

In the southeast, the open terrain of Whiteface Intervale contrasts with the dense mountainous interior. Water systems like the Wonalancet River and Whiteface River flow from the peaks, including Mount Whiteface and Mount Passaconaway, draining into the valleys below. Notable landmarks like The Bowl and The Sleepers highlight the distinctive geological formations that characterize this part of the White Mountains, providing a precise look at the forest roads and trails used for modern recreation and management.
