About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates this topographic survey, showcasing the high-elevation terrain where the boundaries of Benton, Easton, Lincoln, and Woodstock meet. The prominence of Mt Moosilauke and its surrounding peaks, including Mt Blue and Mt Jim, defines the local geography. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, most notably the Wild Ammonoosuc River and the Baker (Asquamchumauke) River, which drains the southern slopes below South Peak.

Outdoor recreation and early transportation routes are well-documented, featuring the Appalachian Trail as it winds through Kinsman Notch and past Beaver Pond. The settlement of Wildwood sits along the river valley, serving as a rare point of habitation amidst the steep ridges. Historic access is indicated by the Carriage Road and several wilderness paths like the Benton Trail, reflecting the area's long-standing importance for White Mountain exploration and timber resources.
