1893 Map of Gorham

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a central path through this landscape, serving as the industrial and transportation corridor for the late 19th-century settlements of Berlin and Gorham. At Berlin Falls, the river’s power is harnessed where the Grand Trunk Railroad and Boston and Maine Railroad converge, marking a peak era of rail-dependent logging and milling. The surrounding terrain is defined by the steep ascents of the Presidential and Carter Ranges, including landmark peaks like Mt. Moriah and Carter Dome. To the south, the storied Glen House sits at the base of the mountains along the Pinkham Road, a vital thoroughfare for early White Mountain tourism. This survey captures the region just as the White Mountain National Forest boundaries were beginning to formalize, preserving a moment when remote mountain passes like Carter Notch and high-altitude waters like Gentian Pond were first being systematically mapped.
