1970 Map of Wild River

About this map

The Wild River carves a deep valley through the White Mountain National Forest, serving as the central axis for this terrain on the New Hampshire and Maine border. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a landscape defined by its backcountry infrastructure, where the Appalachian Trail crosses the high ridges of Shelburne Moriah Mtn and Middle Moriah Mtn. The valley floor is marked by the Wild River Campground and the Wild River Climatic Station, signaling its importance for both recreation and environmental monitoring during the mid-20th century.
