A glance at the map, or a first acquaintance with the mountains, 14(? presents to the eye an almost inextrical)le jumble; but a little studysolves this into two general masses, divided by the valley of theSaco, opening southeastward, and that of the Amonoosuc (whose sourceis closely adjacent), which opens in the opposite direction. On thenorth and east are the Mt. Washington or Presidential range (theWhite Mountains proper), with its outliers, the Pilot, Jackson andChatham mountains, forming a northerly mass, the general axis of whichextends northwest and southeast.
