About this map

Grafton Notch serves as the centerpiece of this high-elevation landscape, where the Bear River carves through deep geological features such as Moose Cave Gorge and Screw Auger Falls Gorge. The terrain is dominated by the massive peaks of the Mahoosuc Range, including the prominent Old Speck Mtn and the neighboring Baldpate Mtn. These summits are linked by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which traverses the ridge lines past Mahoosuc Notch and high-altitude water bodies like Speck Pond.

In the southern reaches, the settlement of Ketchum sits near the headwaters of the Sunday River. The map details a transition from these remote peaks to localized activity centers, such as the Outward Bound facility. This modern survey provides a clear view of the complex drainage patterns formed by the Bull Branch and Goose Eye Brook, defining the watershed before the land descends toward the lower valleys.
