1942 Map of Gorham

About this map

The industrial hub of Berlin anchors the upper reaches of this 1942 New Hampshire and Maine border survey, where the Androscoggin River carves a deep valley between the Mahoosuc and White Mountain ranges. The map reveals a landscape defined by both timber extraction and early alpine recreation. Transportation networks are heavy, with the Grand Trunk and Boston and Maine railroads following the river's path, while a network of early backcountry routes like the Mahoosuc Trail and the Appalachian Trail strike into the high peaks of Bean's Purchase. Cultural landmarks such as the Glen House and the Toll House at the base of the mountain road appear alongside several hikers' shelters including the A M C Hut and Imp Shelter. Notable industrial traces include the Mascot Mine and the Berlin Res, illustrating the era's reliance on the local watershed for both power and municipal needs.
