1893 Map of Gorham

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

Berlin and Gorham anchor this mountain landscape, which is defined by the industrial and transport corridor of the Androscoggin River. At Berlin Falls, the river’s power is harnessed amidst a complex network of rail infrastructure, including the Grand Trunk Railroad and the Boston and Maine Railroad, which follow the narrow valleys. The map illustrates the late 19th-century transition from wild mountain tracts like the Bean Purchase and Thompson & Meserve Purchase to a more settled economic hub based on logging and rail transit.
