1896 Map of Mt. Washington

USGS Topo · Published 1915

About this map

The Mt Washington Cog Railroad climbs the steep western slopes of the Presidential Range, a focal point of this late 19th-century landscape of White Mountain exploration and early tourism. Large seasonal hotels like the Fabyan House and Mt Pleasant House near the Ammonoosuc River served as gateways for Victorian-era travelers arriving via the Boston and Maine and Concord and Montreal railroads. The map captures an era when hiking infrastructure was emerging, noting early routes such as Lowe Path and Air Line Path leading toward the summits of Mt Sam Adams and Mt Madison. Beyond the peaks, the survey records local landmarks like the Pond of Safety and the high-elevation Lakes of the Clouds, alongside the working railroads of the Kilkenny Br that pushed into the northern forests.
