1893 Map of Gorham

USGS Topo · Published 1904

About this map

Androscoggin River serves as the industrial and transit spine of this late 19th-century New Hampshire landscape, where the Grand Trunk Railroad and the Boston and Maine R. R. converge at Berlin and Berlin Falls. The map documents a rugged timber and early tourism economy, evidenced by the isolation of Shelburne and the presence of the Glen House near the base of the Presidential Range. The terrain is dominated by significant peaks such as Mt. Moriah, Carter Dome, and Shelburne Moriah Mtn., with the New Hampshire Maine Boundary Line clearly demarcating the eastern edge of Coos County. Numerous grants and purchases, including the Pinkham Grant and Bean Purchase, reflect the complex land-holding history of the White Mountains during this era of heavy logging and emerging recreational interest.
