1896 Map of Mt. Washington

About this map

Mt Washington towers over this late nineteenth-century survey, surrounded by the high summits of the Presidential Range and the early hospitality infrastructure of the White Mountains. The landscape is defined by the unique Mt Washington Railroad ascending the western slope, while traditional travel routes like the Glen Road and Lowe Path skirt the base of the peaks. Settlement is concentrated along the valleys of the Israel River and Moose Brook, where established landmarks like the Ravine House and Jefferson Highland served a burgeoning mountain tourism industry.
