About this map

Percy Peaks dominates this landscape in Coos County, with its distinctive North Percy Peak and South Percy Peak summits rising above the surrounding timberland. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by high-elevation water bodies and the drainage systems of the Upper Ammonoosuc River. The map shows a clear network of forestry and access roads like Nash Stream Rd and Trio Ponds Rd, which navigate the deep valleys and ridges of Stratford Mtn and Whitcomb Mtn.

Quiet pockets of the North Country are mapped here, including the secluded Christine Lake and high ponds such as Sugarloaf Pond and Long Mountain Pond. Family names and local history are etched into the topography through features like Jimmy Cole Ledge and Potters Ledge. The orientation of roads like Lee Hill Rd and Percy Rd indicates the transition from the remote northern peaks toward the small riverside communities along the quadrangle's southern edge.
