1970 Map of Wild River

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates this topographic study of the New Hampshire and Maine borderlands, centered on the drainage of the Wild River. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of Beans Purchase and Shelburne, where the Appalachian Trail crosses through Shelburne Moriah Mtn and Middle Moriah Mtn. Remote mountain infrastructure is well-documented, including the Wild River Climatic Station, several trail-access points like Spider Bridge, and the Blue Brook Shelter. Settlement is sparse in this wilderness, restricted primarily to the northern edge at Gilead and the southern corner near Brickett Place. The intricate water network reveals numerous dramatic features such as the Moriah Gorge, Hermit Falls, and Mad River Falls, illustrating the steep descent of mountain brooks toward the larger river valleys.
