About this map

Mt Moosilauke anchors this portion of the White Mountain National Forest during the late 1960s, serving as a hub for a network of historical hiking paths and timber-access routes. The map documents the high-elevation terrain of the Benton and Woodstock border, including the Jobildunk Ravine and South Peak. The Appalachian Trail is shown winding through the mountains, crossing paths with the Moosilauke Carriage Rd and the Benton Trail.

In the valley along the Wild Ammonoosuc River, the settlement of Wildwood and its nearby Wildwood Campground mark the primary area of human activity. The map provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the region, tracing the headwaters of the Lost River through Kinsman Notch and the Baker River (Asquamchumauke), while old roads like Noxon Road and Jericho Road offer clues to the area's earlier settlement and logging history.
