1982 Map of Mt. Washington

About this map

Mt Washington State Park and the high peaks of the Presidential Range dominate this early 1980s topographical record. The complex network of the Mount Washington Cog Railway is clearly visible, climbing from Marshfield Sta toward the summit, while the Mt Washington Auto Road winds its way up from the east. In the valleys, historic resort settlements like Bretton Woods and Fabyan sit along the Ammonoosuc River, shadowed by the Rosebrook Mtns. The map serves as a detailed directory of the era's backcountry infrastructure, locating high-altitude shelters like Madison Hut, The Perch Shelter, and Gray Knob Cabin. The inclusion of the Appalachian Trail crossing through the Great Gulf Wilderness highlights the region's long-standing role as a center for mountaineering and conservation within the White Mountain National Forest.
