About this map

Sugar Hill sits at the heart of this landscape, surrounded by the high elevations of Garnet Hill and Northey Hill. The survey captures the town's character as a mountain community where winding routes like Lovers Lane and Whipple Road connect dispersed homesteads and village centers. To the north, the Ammonoosuc River and the Boston and Maine railroad line trace the valley floor, marking the primary transportation artery through the region.

Evidence of local history and community life is found in the distribution of Sunnyside Cem, Whitlow Cem, and the secluded Kinsman Cem within the White Mountain National Forest. The map also details the recreational and agricultural aspects of the area, from the Golf Course and Landing Field near Franconia to numerous gravel pits and named peaks such as Bald Peak and Cole Hill, illustrating the transition from industry to leisure in this pocket of the White Mountains.
