1896 Map of Mt. Washington

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Mt Washington dominates this high-altitude survey, reflecting the Presidential Range's status as a major destination at the turn of the century. The map illustrates a landscape of grand seasonal hotels like the Fabyan House and Mt Pleasant House, which served travelers arriving via the Boston and Maine RR and the Concord and Montreal RR. For those ascending the peaks, the incredible engineering of the Mt Washington Railroad is visible alongside established hiking routes like Lowe Path and Air Line Path. Beyond the summits, the survey details the remote Pond of Safety and the scattered settlements of Jefferson and Randolph. The terrain is characterized by deep ravines such as King Ravine and Ravine of the Castles, which emphasize the dramatic verticality of the northern White Mountains before the modern era of conservation.
