1995 Map of Wild River

About this map

The Wild River cuts through this high-elevation region of the White Mountain National Forest along the border of New Hampshire and Maine. In this mid-1990s survey, the landscape is defined by its recreation and conservation infrastructure, featuring a dense network of backcountry paths including the Appalachian Trail and the Rattle River Scenic Trail. Cultural landmarks like the Brickett Place and various wilderness stations, such as the Spruce Brook Shelter and Blue Brook Shelter, provide reference points for those tracking historic land use in the White Mountains. Steep topography is anchored by prominent peaks like Shelburne Moriah Mountain and West Royce Mountain, while water features like Basin Pond and the Moriah Gorge illustrate the drainage patterns that shaped the early logging and travel routes of Beans Purchase and Shelburne.
