About this map

The Salmon Falls River serves as the central artery and natural boundary on this orthophotograph, separating Strafford Co, New Hampshire, from York Co, Maine. Captured in the late 1970s, the imagery reveals the industrial and residential footprints of the interconnected communities of Somersworth, Rollinsford, and South Berwick. The confluence where the Cochecho River meets the larger drainage system underscores the historical importance of water power and river navigation to the development of Dover. This 1977 aerial perspective provides a clear view of the mid-century land use patterns, showing the proximity of dense town centers to the surrounding agricultural fields and forested tracts. Unlike traditional line maps, this photographic study allows for the direct observation of individual buildings, road alignments, and the specific texture of the New England landscape during a period of transition.
