Mahoosuc Range
Newry, Maine
Relief of the Southern Mahoosuc Range and Sunday River’s interconnected peaks in western Maine. Hardwood follows the ridge system, valleys, and linked summit structure. Laser-etched trails connect the terrain across the range while keeping the larger landform readable.

Terrain transition from base to summits
Mahoosuc Range was approached as connected terrain rather than a single destination. The experience of the place comes through sequence, with ridges linking, valleys interrupting, and trails moving across different exposures.
The composition was arranged to emphasize lateral movement. The goal was to show how the terrain connects across summits, how valleys divide zones, and how the range is experienced through passage rather than arrival.
Trail etching was kept legible from a distance, with the carved terrain carrying the larger structure. Floating the relief within the frame was intended to let the range read as continuous landform rather than a bounded diagram.
