About this map

The Wild River valley and the peaks of the White Mountain National Forest dominate this landscape, which was field-checked in 1970. The settlement of Hastings sits along the river near the mouth of Evans Brook, while the high ground is defined by prominent summits like Speckled Mtn, which features a Lookout Tower. The topography is shaped by significant gaps and passes, including Evans Notch and Haystack Notch, providing natural corridors through the steep terrain.

A network of recreational and access routes such as the Highwater Tr, Roost Trail, and Caribou Trail connect the various ridges and peaks. In the southeastern portion of the map, within the township of Stoneham, evidence of local activity appears at a Gravel Pit and a small Cem, while family-named landmarks like Mason Hill and Tyler Mtn reflect the area's local history. Numerous watercourses, including Cold River and Great Brook, drain the high elevations of Durgin Mtn and Blueberry Mtn.
