1944 Map of Berwick

About this map

The Salmon Falls River serves as the winding border between Maine and New Hampshire in this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape of small industrial hubs and rural townships. Significant population centers like Rochester and Sanford show dense street grids and established rail connections via the Boston and Maine RR, while smaller communities such as Milton Mills and Springvale reflect the area's textile and milling heritage. The presence of the Great Falls Lower Hydro-Electric Plant near Somersworth highlights the river's transition from a merchant power source to a modern utility generator during the early 1940s.
