1942 Map of Gorham

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a deep valley through the heart of this terrain, serving as the primary corridor for the Grand Trunk and Boston and Maine railroads. The industrial center of Berlin dominates the north, while Gorham serves as a gateway to the peaks of the White Mountain National Forest. This 1930s-era survey captures a landscape of intense recreational development and traditional New England settlement. The presence of specialized infrastructure like the Dolly Copp Forest Camp and the AMC Hut at Carter Notch reflects the growth of backcountry tourism during the interwar years. Further east, the village of Shelburne and the settlement at Alpine maintain their positions along the river, while the complex network of footpaths including the Appalachian Trail and Daniel Webster Trail indicates a transition toward a managed wilderness economy.
