1956 Map of Dover
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Piscataqua River and Great Bay anchor this 1950s study of the New Hampshire coast, documenting a landscape at the height of its mid-century military and industrial transition. The establishment of Pease Air Force Base dominates the southern reaches, marking a significant shift in land use near Newington and Portsmouth. Farther inland, the academic campus of the University of New Hampshire stands in Durham, while the Boston and Maine Railroad continues to thread through traditional manufacturing and transit centers like Dover, Sawyers, and Salmon Falls.
