1956 Map of Dover East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Salmon Falls River and the Piscataqua River define the winding border between Maine and New Hampshire in this mid-century survey of the Dover and South Berwick area. The landscape is a network of river-driven industrial heritage and early rail transit, evidenced by the Boston and Maine Railroad routes connecting Rollinsford Station and Agamenticus Station. Notable educational and religious landmarks like the Berwick Academy and numerous burial grounds, including St Patricks Cem and St Michaels Cem, are clearly marked across the hills. The terrain is characterized by named elevations such as Indigo Hill and Powderhouse Hill, while the tidal flats of the Piscataqua River and Pomeroy Cove illustrate the coastal influence on this inland corridor. This map also tracks the introduction of the Spaulding Turnpike, signaling the transition from local rural roads like Sligo Road to modern regional highway systems.
