1996 Map of Percy Peaks

About this map

The Nash Stream Forest dominates this northern New Hampshire landscape, centered on the dramatic granite elevations of Percy Peaks. Revised in the mid-1990s, the map illustrates a region defined by heavy timber management and conservation, where logging infrastructure like Main Road and Jimmy Cole Brook Road snakes through the valleys of Nash Stream. To the south, the settlement at Percy sits along the Ammonoosuc River, serving as a historic point of access for the surrounding highlands. Notable landmarks including Jimmy Cole Ledge and Potters Ledge provide vertical relief above Christine Lake, while more remote waters such as Nash Bog Pond and Long Mountain Pond are sequestered in the high basins. The survey captures the complex boundary between the town of Stark and Northumberland, reflecting the area's transition from active resource extraction toward protected forest lands.
