2015 Map of Sugar Hill

About this map

Sugar Hill and Franconia anchor this 2015 topographic study of the western White Mountains, where the village centers give way to the protected highlands of the White Mountain National Forest. The landscape is defined by the narrow valleys of the Ammonoosuc River and Gale River, with local transport infrastructure such as the Ammonoosuc Rail Trl reflecting the region's shift toward recreation. Notable peaks like Northey Hill, Bronson Hill, and Bald Peak rise sharply above small settlements like Easton and the locality of Jericho. Cultural landmarks, including Sunny Side Cem, Willow Cem, and the Franconia Airport, provide a detailed view of the community's footprint. The prevalence of named brooks, including Salmon Hole Brook and Coppermine Brook, underscores a complex drainage system that has historically shaped the agricultural and industrial potential of these New Hampshire valleys.
