2018 Map of Old Speck Mountain

About this map

Old Speck Mtn dominates this portion of the Mahoosuc Range, serving as a centerpiece for a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and glacial geography. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the sheet, connecting several prominent peaks including Baldpate Mtn, Mahoosuc Mtn, and Goose Eye Mtn. The small settlement of Ketchum sits at the southern edge of the terrain where the Bull Branch meets the Sunday River. Dramatic geological features are visible along the Bear River corridor, notably Grafton Notch and the steep descents at Screw Auger Falls Gorge and Mother Walker Falls Gorge. The map records a complex network of water systems, from high-altitude features like Speck Pond to the narrow passages of Mahoosuc Notch, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped these New England highlands.
