About this map

Mount Tripyramid dominates this 1980s landscape, which centers on the high-elevation terrain where the Livermore and Albany boundaries meet. This survey shows the extensive network of trails and wilderness areas before modern forest management changes, including the Pine Bend Trail and the Sabbaday Brook Trail leading toward Potash Mtn. The map preserves the names of numerous hydrological features like Sabbaday Falls, Fletcher Cascades, and Norway Rapids, illustrating the steep descent from the peaks into the Swift River and Whiteface River basins.

To the south, Flat Mountain Ponds and the Sandwich Wilderness Area highlight a protected backcountry environment. Geologists and local historians can locate the Sand and Gravel Pit near the Intervale and trace the winding course of the Kancamagus Hwy as it skirts the northern boundary of the forest, providing a clear picture of the region's recreational and natural geography during the late twentieth century.
