1902 National Publishing Map of the White Mountains, New Hampshire

This is a 1902 National Publishing Company map of the White Mountains and central New Hampshire that labels individual peaks throughout the area. Depicting central New Hampshire from Lancaster and Berlin Mills south to Cornish, South Danbury, and Alton Bay, cities, towns, and villages are labeled, with communities served by post offices and railroad stations labeled as such. Grants and purchases around the area are labeled in different typefaces, with some marked in large bold lettering, while others, like the Allen grant in Waterville County, are much less noticeable. Roads are illustrated, as are several railroads, including the Northern Division and the White Mountain Division of the Boston and Maine Railroad and several abandoned lumber railroads. Counties are demarcated and identified, and rivers and lakes are colored blue and labeled. Mountains are illustrated using contour lines, labeled, and their elevations provided. An index along the left side lists post offices, railroad stations, principal lakes and streams, and principal mountains and provides the grid location for each one.
