1931 Map of Littleton

About this map

The Connecticut River forms the contested state boundary in this 1929 survey, which captures the White Mountains foothills during a period of transition. While much of the northwestern portion remains a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area, the settled regions of Littleton and Lyman are documented with precision. The transportation network of the early thirties is anchored by the Boston and Maine RR and the Dartmouth College Road State Highway No 10, reflecting the importance of both rail and early motor tourism to the region. Local life is centered around numerous district schools, including the North Monroe Sch and Slate Ledge Sch, while the presence of Mining Hill and Slate Ledge points to the area's extractive history. The landscape is dotted with prominent family-named elevations like Albee Hill and Walker Mtn, and recreational water bodies such as Partridge Lake and Ogontz Lake.
