Kinsman Mountain is a Mountain located in Grafton County , New Hampshire . The mountain is named after Nathan Kinsman , an early resident of Easton, New Hampshire , and is part of the Kinsman Range of the White Mountains . To the northeast, Kinsman is connected by The Cannon Balls ridge to Cannon Mountain .

The west side of Kinsman drains into Reel and Slide Brooks, thence into the Ham Branch of the Gale River , the Gale River, Ammonoosuc River , Connecticut River , and into Long Island Sound in Connecticut .
The east side drains into Cascade Brook, thence into the Pemigewasset River , the Merrimack River , and into the Gulf Of Maine in Massachusetts .
The south face drains into Eliza Brook, thence into Harvard Brook, another Tributary of the Pemigewasset.

The Appalachian Mountain Club considers both North and South Kinsman to be " Four-thousand Footers " because the divide between them gives the former more than 200 ft of Topographic Prominence .
South Kinsman is the sixth most prominent of the White Mountains, because it is the highest point between Franconia Notch and Kinsman Notch .
