2015 Map of Silver Lake

About this map

Silver Lake serves as a central hub for the small communities and recreational landscapes south of the White Mountain National Forest in this 2015 study. The map illustrates a transition from the structured residential clusters near Madison and the Madison Cem to the rugged granite features of the Mount Washington Valley. To the north, the Swift River and Allard Brook drain through narrow valleys between prominent peaks like Sugarloaf and White Ledge. The presence of the Leavitt Airport and numerous named ledges, such as Whitton Ledge and Band M Ledge, reflects the region's character as a destination for both aviation and outdoor exploration. Along the western edge, the Chocorua River feeds into Chocorua Lake, while the eastern side is defined by the unique hydrology of Pea Porridge Pond and the Madison Boulder, a significant local geological landmark.
