1934 Map of Errol

About this map

The Androscoggin River and its major tributaries, the Dead Diamond River and Swift Diamond River, define this northern wilderness at the border of Maine and New Hampshire. Surveyed in 1930, the map illustrates a landscape of large land grants, including the Second College Grant and Wentworths Location, where settlement is sparse and tied to the water. At Errol, the presence of the Errol Dam and the confluence of Clear Stream and the Androscoggin highlights the importance of timber and water power to the local economy.
