1989 Map of Mt. Pisgah

About this map

The remote forestlands of northern New Hampshire are defined by the convergence of the Dead Diamond River and the Swift Diamond River within the Dix'S Grant and Atkinson And Gilmanton Academy Grant. The 1980s landscape is primarily high-elevation terrain, anchored by the prominent Mount Pisgah and the long spine of Crystal Mountain. Human activity is sparse in this timber-rich region, marked most notably by the Swift Diamond Farm and scattered Gravel Pits used for road maintenance. This era of the New Hampshire woods shows a network of logging roads and trails winding through valleys like those of Tracy Brook and Fourmile Brook. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the upper Diamond watershed, including the Little West Branch and the South Branch, providing a clear look at the watershed before modern shifts in land management.
