1893 Map of Gorham

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

The industrial and natural landscape of northern New Hampshire at the close of the 19th century is centered on the Androscoggin River, where the Grand Trunk Railroad and the Boston and Maine rail lines converge at Berlin and Berlin Falls. This 1891 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey under director Charles D. Walcott, captures the transition from the bustling river-side settlements to the massive peaks of the White Mountains. To the south, the map details the high elevations of Carter Dome and Wildcat Mtn., while identifying early tourism markers such as the Glen House and the Madison Path. The complex administrative boundaries of the era are also clearly delineated, including the Martin Location, Bean Purchase, and the Pinkham Grant, offering a precise record of land divisions before the modern expansion of forest preserves.
