About this map

Goose Hollow and the settlement at Tripoli Mill anchor the southern and northern reaches of this White Mountain landscape, where the Mad River system shapes the topography and human access. The valley floor is defined by a network of seasonal recreation sites and mountain infrastructure, including the Waterville Valley Ski Area and the Waterville Campground. These developed pockets contrast with the significant verticality of the surrounding peaks, such as Mount Tecumseh, Fisher Mountain, and the prominent Bald Knob.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Mad River Cem near the riverbanks, while hikers and backcountry researchers will find the Black Mountain Pond Shelter and Shell Cascade tucked into the more remote terrain. The presence of numerous crossings, like Sixmile Bridge and Knights Bridge, illustrates the historical reliance on established points to traverse the steep-walled gaps of Thornton Gap and Dickey Notch.
