2012 Map of Smarts Mountain

About this map

Smarts Mountain dominates the high ground in this 2012 survey, anchoring a landscape of steep ridges and numerous water bodies in Grafton County. The small settlements of Lyme Center, Hardscrabble, and Quinttown are the primary hubs of human activity, connected by winding mountain roads like the Grafton Tpke. The recreation-heavy nature of the area is evident in the presence of the Dartmouth Skiway near Holts Ledge and the Trapper John Shelter on the western slopes. Multiple drainage basins are represented here, with water moving through Jacobs Brook, Grant Brook, and the Mascoma River. Notable named peaks like Stonehouse Mountain, Bundy Mountain, and Mousley Mountain define the north, while Reservoir Pond and Cummins Pond occupy the southeastern basins near DOC Camp. This map provides a look at the modern balance between small New Hampshire hamlets and the enduring wilderness of the White Mountain region.
