1970 Map of Berlin

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a deep industrial and transportation corridor through this mountain landscape, anchoring the bustling centers of Berlin and Gorham. During the early 1970s, the region's character was defined by the intersection of heavy rail lines—the Grand Trunk and the Boston and Maine—and the vast timberlands of the White Mountain National Forest. The map reveals a dense social infrastructure in Berlin, featuring numerous parochial institutions like Notre Dame High Sch and St Patricks church, alongside a cluster of burial grounds including Mt Calvaire Cem and St Kieran Cem. To the south, the village of Gorham sits at the confluence near Libby Airfield, while the Mahoosuc Range rises sharply to the east, punctuated by landmarks such as Cascade Mtn and Mascot Pond.
