About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates this Oxford County terrain, where the peaks of Speckled Mountain and Caribou Mountain overlook a complex network of brooks and seasonal trails. In the northwest corner, the small settlement of Hastings sits near the Wild River, marking a rare point of habitation in this otherwise undeveloped mountain landscape. The area is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring numerous notches such as Evans Notch, Haystack Notch, and Miles Notch.

Tracing the drainage patterns reveals a watershed of cold-water sources like Caribou Spring and landmarks like Keel Falls. Cultural markers are sparse but significant, including the Hut Road Cemetery and the path of the Kings Highway in the east. This survey captures a modern look at a landscape managed for recreation and conservation, showing the evolution of old logging or supply routes into named snowmobile and hiking paths such as the Mud Brook Trail and Stoneham Snowmobile Trail.
