1896 Map of Mt. Washington

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

Mt. Washington Railroad ascends the Presidential Range in this late 19th-century survey, illustrating the era's flourishing grand hotel culture. Prominent retreats such as the Fabyan House, Mt Pleasant House, and Ravine House anchored the region's early tourism, linked by the Boston and Maine and Concord and Montreal rail lines. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Dartmouth Range and the massive summits of Mt Madison, Mt Adams, and Mt Jefferson. High-altitude features like the Lakes of the Clouds and the AMC Hut mark the burgeoning alpine trail network, including the Lowe Path and Air Line Path. Beyond the summits, the map details numerous land grants and purchases, such as the Thompson & Meserve Purchase and Low & Burbank Grant, which shaped the administrative and ownership history of these New Hampshire highlands.
