About this map

The Percy Peaks dominate this section of Coos County, with their distinct twin summits of North Percy Peak and South Percy Peak serving as prominent landmarks. This landscape is defined by its complex network of water bodies and high-elevation terrain, where Nash Stream carves a path through Boman Valley toward the Upper Ammonoosuc River. The map highlights a series of isolated mountain ponds, including Sugarloaf Pond, Whitcomb Pond, and Long Mountain Pond, which suggest a wilderness character preserved well into the twenty-first century.

Local roads such as Northside Rd and Emerson Rd cluster near the river, while timber and access routes like Phillips Brook Rd and W Side Rd penetrate the higher elevations. Significant topographic features like Potters Ledge, Victor Head, and Jimmy Cole Ledge punctuate the ridges, while Christine Lake anchors the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This survey captures a balance between the managed forests of northern New Hampshire and the enduring physical geography of the White Mountains region.
