1931 Map of Mt. Chocorua

About this map

Passaconaway Lodge and the high ridges of the White Mountain National Forest dominate this 1928 survey, showing the intricate trail system that supported early mountain tourism and forestry. The map documents a transition from industrial activity to recreation, featuring sites like Paugus Mill alongside numerous hiking routes such as the Brook Trail and Lawrence River Trail. In the lower elevations, the agricultural and social fabric of the era is preserved through the locations of the Durgin School and Fellows School, as well as the Stevenson Cemetery near Tamworth. From the cluster of camps like Camp Heermance to the isolated Jim Liberty Shelter, the sheet captures the rugged character of the area before modern development, detailing the many named peaks from Mt Israel to the heights of Mt Chocorua.
