About this map

The Ammonoosuc River carves a path through this mountainous section of Coos County, defining the early 20th-century settlement patterns of towns like Stark and West Milan. The landscape is dominated by the White Mountain National Forest and the Kilkenny region, where peaks like Mt Cabot and The Horn rise above the river valleys. Evidence of the region’s logging and transport history is visible in features like No 8 Camp and the path of the Grand Trunk Railway, which follows the river’s course.

Educational infrastructure is represented by a series of small, rural schoolhouses, including the Blake Sch, Emerson Sch, and Dummer Plain Sch. Significant local water bodies such as Christine Lake, Nash Bog Pond, and the Trio Ponds dot the high country, illustrating the hydrology of the Stratford Mountain range before later developments. The map also identifies the unique place-name Lost Nation in the southwestern corner.
