Crawford Notch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Crawford Notch is the steep and narrow gorge of the Saco River in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, located almost entirely within the town of Hart's Location. From the standpoint of physical geography, the notch is at the upper or northern end of this gorge (constituting the extreme southern end of a panhandle at the southeastern corner of the town of Carroll), where the land descends both to north and south, and ascends both to east and west. The path and eventual railroad through Crawford Notch opened a new route through the White Mountains for settlers of the Lancaster area (to the northwest) to reach Conway on the way to the trading ports on the coast. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Crawford_Notch   (374 words)
