1970 Map of Speckled Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates this 1970 landscape, centered on the high peaks of Speckled Mtn and Caribou Mtn. The terrain is defined by dramatic topographic gaps like Evans Notch and Haystack Notch, where foot trails and watercourses provide the primary passage through the dense woods. The settlement of Hastings sits along the Wild River in the northwest, representing a rare pocket of developed space in an otherwise strictly managed natural corridor. Hikers and surveyors of the era utilized the Lookout Tower atop Speckled Mountain and the Caribou Spring Shelter for navigation and fire watch. Significant water bodies and drainage systems, including the West Branch Pleasant River and Kees Falls, illustrate the hydrology of the Oxford county highlands before modern recreational infrastructure further altered the wilderness character.
