2024 Map of Shelburne

About this map

Shelburne lies at the heart of this landscape, situated along the Androscoggin River where the river valley carves through the White Mountain National Forest. The map documents a complex network of recreational and historic travel corridors, including the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it traverses the Mahoosuc Range and passes Gentian Pond. High-elevation features like Mt Success and Bald Cap Peak dominate the northern terrain, while the river basin below contains local historical markers such as Hazelton Cem and Burbank Cem. The transition from the river bottom at Evans Island to the steep slopes of Stock Farm Mtn reflects the traditional land use patterns of Coos County, where valley settlements are hemmed in by significant mountain massifs. Modern multi-use routes like the Cross NH Adventure Trl parallel older timber and access roads like Success Pond Rd, showing the evolution of the region's mountain access.
