About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a deep valley through this mountain landscape, providing a narrow corridor for the settlement of Shelburne and its surrounding infrastructure. To the north, the Mahoosuc Range dominates the terrain, featuring high peaks such as Mt Success and North Bald Cap. This area is a significant hub for wilderness recreation, as the Appalachian Trail and Mahoosuc Trail wind along the ridgelines, passing landmarks like Gentian Pond and the Carlo Col Shelter.

Lower elevations show the industrial and logistical footprint of the mid-20th century, with pipelines and the Trunk River Road following the water's path. Smaller water bodies like Dream Lake and Keene Reservoir sit tucked into the high valleys. The map also records several family and local landmarks, including Hark Hill, Mt Winthrop, and Artist Rock, alongside the managed lands of the Leadmine State Forest and the White Mountain National Forest.
