1937 Map of Gorham

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The industrial activity at Berlin and the recreational development of the White Mountains converge on this 1930s survey. The Androscoggin River dominates the northern landscape, supporting the Berlin settlement where the Grand Trunk Railroad and Berlin Sta served as vital transportation nodes. Southward, the landscape shifts toward the vast wilderness of the White Mountain National Forest, where the early infrastructure of mountain tourism is visible through sites like the Glen House, the Mountaineer Club Cabin, and various shelters along the Appalachian Trail. Evidence of New Deal-era labor appears at the CCC Camp near Martins Brook, while industrial remnants like the Mascot Pit near Leadmine Brook suggest the area's mineral interests. The transition from the settled valleys of Gorham and Shelburne to high peaks like Carter Dome and Wildcat Mtn is meticulously documented via a dense network of hiking and ski trails established before the Second World War.
