1927 Map of Indian Stream

About this map

Indian Stream flows south through the heart of this northern New Hampshire borderland, where the 1925 survey by D.H. Watson and S.E. Clement documents a landscape defined by timber, water, and early rural infrastructure. Near the confluence of the Connecticut River and Halls Stream, the village of Beecher Falls serves as a key settlement on the New Hampshire-Vermont line. The map reveals a dense network of localized educational sites, including the Stanton School, Halls Stream School, and Indian Stream School, highlighting the distributed nature of this frontier community. To the east, the waters of First Connecticut Lake and Back Lake dominate the terrain, surrounded by a series of seasonal encampments such as Currier Camp and Holden Camp. The presence of the Maine Central railroad near the southern boundary points to the era's reliance on rail for transporting the region's natural resources through the mountain passes.
