About this map

Colebrook and the surrounding townships of Stewartstown and Columbia are shown here as they appeared in the early 1930s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Mohawk River and Simms Stream, where small hillside settlements and numerous schoolhouses supported a dispersed rural population. Educational nodes like Piper Hill Sch, Harvey Swell Sch, and Read Sch highlight the localized nature of the community before widespread school consolidation.

Along the Maine Central railroad corridor, the industrial and recreational character of Coos County emerges through features like the State Fish Hatchery and the Ladd Pit. Further east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around the Dixville Notch area, showcasing landmarks such as Table Rock, The Flume, and several remote outposts including Ramsay Camp and Felton Camp. This survey, compiled in part from early Air Corps aerial photography, captures the intricate network of brooks and ridges that shaped the logging and agricultural life of the North Country.
