About this map

The confluence of the Androscoggin River and Clear Stream at Errol serves as the focal point for this 1930 survey of the rugged Maine and New Hampshire borderlands. The landscape is defined by extensive land grants, including the Atkinson and Gilmanton Academy Grant and the Second College Grant, highlighting a history of institutional land ownership in the northern wilderness. Water management for the regional timber and power industries is evident at the Errol Dam and the remote Dixie Dam on the Swift Diamond River.

Remote outposts such as Pungers Cabin, College Farm, and Hell Gate emphasize the isolation of the territory. The map tracks the northern reaches of Umbagog Lake and the winding course of the Dead Diamond River. Local educational and social foundations are represented by the Magalloway Sch near Wentworth Location, providing a record of the small communities that persisted in this densely forested terrain during the early twentieth century.
