NH Maps?

[king tut]

Are there any good online maps that show where the NH 48 are? I've got google earth on my computer, but it's kinda hard to find mt's.

Mohamed's site is excellent for that,his routes to peaks page has a map for every peak. New England 4,000 footers

I assume you're looking for a clickable map with all 48 peaks on it. There are some online but a quick check in the usual places didn't turn one up.

I found one. If anyone's interested, here's a link http://www.wilkiesworld.net/hike100.htm

 

[nartreb]

here you go

Edit: to see only the 48 (plus some unofficials like Guyot), change the minimum elevation setting (at the bottom) to 4000 feet. I've restricted this view to New Hampshire. You can use it to find mountains anywhere, but it only shows peaks that have been listed on Summitpost. The 48 are all there, and I think the 46 too, and Vermont's 4000ers, but I think Maine is still missing a couple.

note that this guy or gal links to some of DM's WMS pages but puts them in a frame so they seem like his own. that seems like a no-no.

for what it's worth, I've been working, on and off, on a GIS and .asp based map for all the peaks >3k in the northeast. I'm not sure if I'll ever finish it and if I do, I'm not sure I'll release it (b/c of my previous and frequent curmudgeonly remarks about sharing too much info).

It's a lot of fun to play with, though

Interesting. You must be using ESRI software? ArcIMS perhaps? Sounds like a fun project.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm dropping him a line.

You're nicer than I am. I'd just change the content at that link to something else of my choosing.

I created this map a few months back to help quickly identify the bigger attractions of the White Mountains (45 of the 48 can be found on it). The mountains in blue are 4K-ers. The red stars indicate other major attractions/peaks.

Can't, too many other people link legitimately to those pages.

Off topic but about NH maps

I have three old amc guides of NH and NE with maps does anyone collect them

There's a fairly good sized market for old AMC guides, going back to the earliest editions which go for 100's of dollars. Check with Mike Dickerman at Mountain Wanderer if you are interested in buying or selling. I've got them back to the 60's, but several folks here go much further back than that.

Does anyone have Steve's book Wandering Through the White Mountains ? Would you suggest it even to someone who has the AMC guide to the WMNF? A good book which Steve contributed to.

I was thinking of adding this book to my collection, I was just curious to hear from anyone who has already read it.

Thanks.

 

[David Metsky]

That book is great, but it's not really a guide book at all, nothing like the AMC Guide. It's mostly essays he wrote about a variety of topics, plus some nitty-gritty details about the Whites.

Another good choice is The 4000-Footers of the White Mountains by Steve and Mike. It's really a how-to guide for hiking the 4000'ers, with a great level of detail about the natural and human history of the peaks. Lots of nuts and bolts details about routes, distances, trailheads, etc.

Wandering Through the White Mountains

As Dave says, it is not really a guidebook, but it is a book I enjoyed very much. You may want to read my review, originally published in Appalachia and posted on my site with the editor's permission.
