1973 Map of Rumney

About this map

White Mountain National Forest territory dominates this 1970s landscape, where the Baker River carves a winding valley through the peaks of Rumney. The settlement pattern follows the river's path, connecting West Rumney and Rumney Depot along a route marked by older transportation infrastructure, including a prominent Railroad Grade. Local life is anchored by landmarks like the Russell Sch and the geological curiosity of Polar Caves, while higher elevations feature rugged landmarks such as Stinson Mtn and its Lookout Tower. To the north, Stinson Lake serves as a remote hub, while the southern reaches near Groton show the industrial footprint of a Quarry and Gravel Pits. This survey captures the transition between organized valley townships and the high, protected wilderness of the New Hampshire interior.
