1987 Map of North Conway West

About this map

The confluence of the Saco River and Ellis River anchors this landscape in the late 1980s, revealing a corridor of tourism and mountain geography. The map illustrates the concentrated development around North Conway and Intervale, where a Hospital, Golf Course, and numerous landmarks serve a region deeply integrated with its recreational surroundings. Significant preservation efforts are evident in the sprawling White Mountain National Forest and specialized sites like Echo Lake-Cathedral Ledge State Park, which protect dramatic formations such as White Horse Ledge and Cathedral Ledge. The map also captures smaller railroad-era footprints at Cooks Crossing and Rogers Crossing. To the south and west, the terrain rises sharply toward North Moat Mtn and Big Attitash Mtn, defining the western edge of the Conway valley before dropping toward the Swift River in Albany.
