1950 Map of Gorham

About this map

The Presumpscot River serves as the industrial and geographic spine of this mid-century Maine landscape, power descending through Gambo Falls and Mallison Falls toward the mills of South Windham and Westbrook. In the village of Gorham, the presence of the State Normal Sch and Hillside Cem anchors the community, while the Boston and Maine Railroad cuts a diagonal path through the countryside, connecting the river towns to the broader regional economy.
