1934 Map of Errol

About this map

Errol Dam controls the flow at the junction of the Androscoggin River and Magalloway River in this 1934 survey of the North Country wilderness. The landscape is defined by vast timber grants and administrative tracks like the Dartmouth College Grant and Wentworths Location, reflecting an era when large-scale land management and logging were the primary human imprints on the terrain. Small outposts of civilization appear at Errol and Wilsons Mills, while the Magalloway Sch and College Farm mark the limited educational and agricultural efforts in this heavily forested border region between New Hampshire and Maine. The map details an intricate network of waterways including the Swift Diamond River and the expansive Aziscoos Lake, alongside named remote spots like Hell Gate and the Fire Tower on Signal Mtn.
