1934 Map of Errol

About this map

Wilsons Mills and the Magalloway River corridor define this borderland region where New Hampshire meets Maine in the early 1930s. The landscape is dominated by large land grants and locations, including the Dartmouth College Grant and Wentworths Location, reflecting the historical pattern of timber and educational endowments in the North Country. Isolated outposts such as Hell Gate and College Farm are scattered along the Dead Diamond River, while the Swift Diamond River provides drainage for the Crystal Mountains Grant. The presence of the Errol Dam at the outlet of Umbagog Lake highlights the importance of water control for log driving and power at the headwaters of the Androscoggin. Local life centers around the settlement of Errol and the Magalloway Sch, situated near the sprawling waters of Aziscoos Lake.
