1970 Map of Wild River

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Wild River carves a deep valley through this corner of the White Mountain National Forest, serving as the primary geographical axis for the 1970 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, spanning from the heights of Shelburne Moriah Mtn and Middle Moriah Mtn down to the watercourse. This era of land use is marked by recreational and scientific infrastructure, with the Appalachian Trail winding across the northern ridges and the Wild River Climatic Station positioned near the center of Beans Purchase. The map captures a transition point for backcountry travelers, documenting established waypoints like the Spruce Brook Shelter and Blue Brook Shelter. Along the eastern boundary, the survey highlights the intersection of Coos Co and Oxford Co at the New Hampshire and Maine state line, where the terrain shifts toward Batchelders Grant and the falls at Mad River Falls.
