1944 Map of Berwick

About this map

The Salmon Falls River serves as the winding border between Maine and New Hampshire, anchoring a landscape defined by 1940s water power and rail transit. This survey, compiled from work in 1933 and 1941, details the industrial footprint of the Great Falls Lower Hydro-Electric Plant and the intricate network of the Boston and Maine RR. The map illustrates a dense collection of small rail-side communities like Eastwood Sta and Rindgemere Sta, alongside rural landmarks such as Blackberry Hill Sch and the Evergreen Cem near Berwick. From the heights of Bauneg Beg Mountain to the depths of Gate Swamp, the terrain reflects a mix of timbered uplands and developed valley floors. Genealogists can trace family holdings and local centers like Blaisdell Corners and Hayes Sta during the final years of the Second World War.
