1996 Map of Smarts Mountain

About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates the terrain of this mid-1990s survey, defined by the prominent peak of Smarts Mountain and the winding path of the Appalachian Scenic Trail. The landscape transitions from the developed slopes of the Dartmouth Skiway near Lyme Center to the more isolated upland basins containing Reservoir Pond and Cummins Pond. Local history is anchored in scattered settlements like Quinttown and family-named landmarks such as Demmick Hill, Cole Hill, and Winslow Ledge. The map captures the specialized recreational and forest-management character of the region, featuring a Ski Lift and hiker-specific infrastructure like the Trapper John Shelter. These details illustrate how the New Hampshire wilderness was utilized for both organized sport and quiet conservation at the close of the twentieth century.
