About this map

Wilsons Mills and the Magalloway River valley define the landscape of this northern borderland, surveyed in 1930. The terrain is characterized by a network of logging camps and remote farms, such as Swift Diamond Farm and Palmers Camp, reflecting the timber-driven economy of the early 20th century. Water management is evident through landmarks like the Dixie Dam and the Errol Dam, which regulate the flow of the Androscoggin River and its tributaries.

Small social centers like Wentworth Location and the Magalloway Sch are situated along the Magalloway Road, providing essential services to the scattered population. The map also documents the rugged topography through named peaks like Aziscohos Mtn and Diamond Peaks, as well as unique local identifiers such as Emerys Misery and the Squeeze Hole. A Fire Tower on Signal Mtn underscores the vital role of fire surveillance in these heavily forested grants and townships.
