About this map

Alexandria Mica Mines stand as a industrial highlight in this 1927 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by natural resource extraction and high-elevation forestry. The western edge of Newfound Lake serves as a social and geographic anchor, where Nuttings Beach and Mayhew offer a counterpoint to the interior heights of Mt Cardigan. The era’s reliance on rail transport is evident through the path of the Boston & Maine RR, which links settlements like Grafton Center (Cardigan Sta) and Danbury to the wider region. Many small-scale rural institutions are documented, including numerous schoolhouses such as Poplarknoll Sch and East Neighborhood Sch. This document records a distinct moment when public lands were being established, seen in the boundaries of Welton Falls State Forest and Cardigan State Forest.
