About this map

Hastings sits near the northwestern corner of this territory, where the Wild River cuts through the steep terrain of the White Mountain National Forest. This 1995 revision, based on earlier surveys and 1992 imagery, details a landscape defined by its network of trails and protected wilderness areas. Significant landmarks like Evans Notch and the Evans Notch Overlook mark the transition through the mountains, while the Caribou Speckled Mountain Wilderness encompasses high peaks such as Speckled Mountain and Durgin Mountain.

Evidence of local activity is found in the scattered cemetery, a Lodge, and a Gravel Pit, providing points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The map also traces numerous waterways like Evans Brook and Cold River, alongside an extensive trail system including the Highwater Trail and Bickford Slides Trail, reflecting the area's long-standing use for forestry and recreation within the bounds of Batchelders Grant and Mason.
