1893 Map of Berwick

About this map

The Maine New Hampshire Boundary Line follows the winding course of the Salmon Falls River, anchoring a region of industrial river towns and sprawling rail networks surveyed in the late 19th century. Significant mill operations are evident at Great Falls and Milton Mills, while the interior of Lebanon and Sanford shows a dispersed pattern of agricultural hamlets. The Portland and Rochester Railroad bisects the landscape diagonally, connecting Springvale to Rochester, intersecting the extensive Boston and Maine Railroad lines that serviced the area's manufacturing hubs. Notable terrain features like Bauneg Beg and Beaver Hill break the undulating landscape, providing landmarks for local residents between the watercourses of the Mousam River and Little River.
