Appalachian Trail Conservancy

The official Appalachian Trail maps are essential hiking materials for both thru and section hikers. Each map is focused on the Appalachian Trail and overlaps with the neighboring maps, ideal for long-distance hikes and planning. The surrounding area and additional side trails are also included. An easy-to-use elevation profile shows the distance to the next campsite or shelter, side trails, and water sources. For added interest, maps indicate road crossings, waterfalls, and scenic areas. Maps are both water- and tear-resistant. The New Hampshire-Vermont maps cover 329 miles from Grafton Notch, Maine, to North Adams, Massachusetts, along with area side trails, in eight maps on four sheets. Maps 1 & 2: The Mahoosuc and Presidential Ranges; Maine 26 (Grafton Notch) to U. S. 302 (Crawford Notch) Seven-color, 1:63,360-scale topographic maps with 100 foot contour intervals. 1 inch = 1 mile. Revised in 2012. Maps 3 & 4: Southwestern White Mountains; U. S. 302 (Crawford Notch) to Lyme-Dorchester Road (Dartmouth Skiway) Seven-color, 1:63,360-scale topographic maps with 100 foot contour intervals. 1 inch = 1 mile. Revised in 2012.

It was in the early 1900s atop a summit in Vermont that Benton MacKaye envisioned a hiking path along the crest of the Appalachians, beginning in the New England states and extending to those in the South. Along the Appalachian Trail: Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire chronicles the history of the world-famous route in those states, from New England s hiking and trail-building culture that predated and paved the way for the trail to those who toiled to create it and those who have continued to hike and protect it. Today s trail is vastly different from its earlier days. This collection of vintage photographs and accompanying text includes its original course and some of the many reroutes it has experienced. It all comes together to illuminate just what an amazing volunteer achievement the existence of the trail is."
