WHITE MOUNTAINS

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 607 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WHITE MOUNTAINS , the portion of the Appalachian Mountain
system
  which traverses New
Hampshire
 , U.S.A., between the Androscoggin and Upper Ammonoosuc rivers on the north and the lake country on the
south
 . They cover an area of about 1300 sq. m., are composed of somewhat homogeneous granite rocks, and represent the remnants of
long
 -continued erosion of a region formerly greatly elevated. From a
plateau
  which has been cut deep by rivers and streams they rise to rounded summits often noble in outline and of greater
elevation
  than elsewhere in the Appalachian
system
 , except in North Carolina, and culminate in
Mount
  Washington, 6293 ft. above the sea. Thirteen other summits have an
elevation
  exceeding 5000 ft. The scenery is so beautiful and varied that the region has
long
  been popular as a summer resort. It is traversed by railways, one of which ascends
Mount
  Washington, and contains numerous villages and fine hotels.
See the article NEw
HAMPSHIRE
 ; the Guidebook (Part i., Boston, 1907) published by the Appalachian Mountain Club; and Appalachia (ibid., 1876 seq.), a periodical published by the same club.
