About this map

The Androscoggin River valley defines the character of this 1970 field-checked survey, cutting a wide path through the high peaks of the Mahoosuc Range. The small settlement of Shelburne sits along the Trunk Road, where local history is recorded at the Hazelton Cem and nearby Artist Rock. The landscape is a network of managed timber and conservation lands, split between the White Mountain National Forest and Leadmine State Forest.

High-altitude water bodies like Gentian Pond and Dream Lake dot the mountain flanks, while the Appalachian Trail and Mahoosuc Trail provide access to remote summits including Mt Success and North Bald Cap. The map captures the industrial and utility footprints of the era, from the Keene Reservoir in the northwest to the Pipelines following the river corridor, alongside recreation spots like the Rattle River Shelter and various Picnic Areas.
