Carter-Moriah Range Explained

The Carter-Moriah Range of mountains is located in the White Mountains, in Coös County, New Hampshire.[1] The range forms the northern east side of Pinkham Notch, opposite the northern Presidential Range. The range is also referred to as the Carter Range.[2] [3]

Summits

From north to south:

(1,138 m / 3,735 ft)
(1,145 m / 3,755 ft)
(1,234 m / 4,049 ft) *
(1,134 m / 3,720 ft)
(1,381 m / 4,530 ft)
(1,741 m / 4,600 ft) *
(1,741 m / 4,420 ft) *
(1,425 m / 4,675 ft)
(1,473 m / 4,832 ft) *

While not strictly part of the range, Wildcat Mountain (1,345 m / 4,422 ft) * stands southwest of Carter Dome, facing it across Carter Notch.

The summits marked with an asterisk (*) are included on the Appalachian Mountain Club's peak-bagging list of "four-thousand footers" in New Hampshire; the others are excluded, in some cases because of insufficient elevation and in others because of insufficient topographic prominence.

Watersheds

The Carter-Moriah Range drains to the northwest into the Peabody River and to the southeast into the Wild River. Both flow into the Androscoggin River—at Gorham, New Hampshire and Gilead, Maine respectively—and thence into the Atlantic Ocean on the coast of Maine.
