1956 Map of Dover East

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Salmon Falls River and Piscataqua River form the backbone of this borderland survey, charting the industrial and maritime connection between York County, Maine, and Strafford County, New Hampshire. In South Berwick, the prestigious Berwick Academy stands near the confluence of the Great Works River, while the Boston and Maine Railroad corridors link older mill settlements like Salmon Falls and Rollinsford Station. This mid-century view captures the transition of the landscape as the Spaulding Toll Turnpike began to modernize regional transit, even as rural crossroads like Gould Corner and Crams Corner retained their 19th-century character. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial grounds, from the St Michaels Cem to the sprawling Pine Hill Cemetery near Dover. From the tidal flats of Little Bay to the heights of Rocky Hills, the map documents a region defined by its water-powered past and its developing suburban future.
