1945 Map of Colchester

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Colchester serves as the primary hub of this wartime survey, situated at the crossroads of regional travel near the intersections of multiple township boundaries. The landscape is defined by its significant water bodies and drainage systems, including the large Amston Lake in the north and Lake Hayward to the south. Local history is etched into the terrain through various family-named junctions such as Cherry Corners and Milestone Corner, alongside specialized infrastructure like the Police Radio Mast and Water Tanks. For genealogists and researchers, the map provides precise locations for the Linwood Cem and Exeter Ch, as well as the remote Long Pond Cem. The transition from the rugged hills around Mill Hill to the wetlands of Dutton Swamp illustrates a varied New England topography shaped by the Salmon River and Deep River systems during the mid-1940s.
