1995 Map of North Conway West

About this map

The Saco River valley and the surrounding peaks of the White Mountain National Forest define this region of New Hampshire at the close of the twentieth century. The map centers on the townships of Bartlett and Albany, where the tourism and recreation economy is evident through features like the Intervale Ski Area, an Amusement Park, and the Conway Scenic Railroad. Cultural and historical markers include several named railroad crossings such as Blackberry Crossing and Cooks Crossing, alongside a Covered Bridge over the Swift River. Significant natural landmarks like Cathedral Ledge and White Horse Ledge overlook the valley, anchoring the Echo Lake-Cathedral Ledge State Park. This survey documents a landscape where traditional settlements like North Conway and Lower Bartlett interface with extensive public forest lands and a complex network of recreation trails, including the Boulder Loop Trail and the Moat Mountain Trail.
