1970 Map of Shelburne

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a deep valley through the high peaks of the Mahoosuc Range in this 1970 study of the borderlands between New Hampshire and Maine. The small settlement of Shelburne serves as the focal point for local transportation, situated where the Grand Trunk Railway and major pipelines parallel the river's winding course. This era shows a landscape managed for both timber and recreation, with the White Mountain National Forest encompassing much of the southern terrain, while the Leadmine State Forest sits to the west. Hikers and researchers can trace the historic route of the Appalachian Trail as it climbs toward Mt Success and North Bald Cap. The map records specific backcountry infrastructure such as the Gentian Shelter and Rattle River Shelter, alongside local family landmarks like the Hazelton Cem and industrial sites including several gravel pits and a sandpit along the river banks.
