About this map

The Androscoggin River corridor serves as the industrial and civic spine of this North Country landscape, where the city of Berlin and the village of Gorham are defined by the convergence of rail and water. At the time of this field check in 1970, the Grand Trunk and Boston and Maine railroads hem the riverbanks, supporting a dense urban center marked by numerous parochial institutions like Notre Dame High Sch and St Patricks.

Beyond the industrial core, the map reveals the transition into the White Mountain National Forest and Moose Brook State Forest. Local history is preserved in sites such as Mt Calvaire Cem and the Androscoggin Ranger Sta, while the surrounding terrain features prominent heights like Mt Jasper and Mt Hayes. The presence of Libby Airfield and the Golf Course south of Upper Village illustrates the recreational and infrastructure developments of the mid-20th century.
