1896 Map of Gorham

USGS Topo · Published 1896

About this map

Berlin and Gorham anchor the industrial and transit corridor of the White Mountains during the late nineteenth century, where the Androscoggin River powered early development at Berlin Falls. This landscape is defined by the intersection of major mountain ranges and the rail infrastructure that opened them to the world. The Grand Trunk Railroad and the Boston and Maine R. R. follow the river valleys, providing a vital link for timber and tourism. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the high peaks of the Bean Purchase and Pinkham Grant, where the Glen House served as a noted destination for early mountain travelers.
