1995 Map of Shelburne

About this map

The Androscoggin River winds through this New Hampshire and Maine borderland, providing the central valley around which the community of Shelburne is oriented. During the mid-1990s, the landscape was defined by the intersection of forest management and backcountry recreation, with extensive coverage of the White Mountain National Forest and Leadmine State Forest. The map documents a rugged network of high-altitude routes including the Appalachian Scenic Trail and Mahoosuc Trail, which connect peaks like Mount Success and North Bald Cap. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Hazelton Cem and other burial grounds near the river, while the presence of the Keene Reservoir and Pipelines indicates the infrastructure supporting the region's utility and water management. Shelters like Gentian Shelter and Carlo Col Shelter mark the established camps for long-distance hikers traversing the Mahoosuc Range.
