1927 Map of Mascoma

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Shaker communities of Lower Shaker Village and Upper Shaker Village anchor the western shore of Mascoma Lake, marking a landscape defined by communal settlement and religious history. This survey captures a rural New Hampshire economy transitioning toward the mid-20th century, where local travel was increasingly shaped by the Dartmouth College Highway. The Boston and Maine railroad tracks follow the winding course of the Mascoma River through Enfield and Canaan, serving as a vital industrial artery through the hills. Educational life is documented through numerous neighborhood schoolhouses, including the Arvin Sch and the remote Height of Land Sch. To the south, the topography rises toward Grantham Mtn, while the interior is dotted with numerous small bodies of water like Spectacle Pond and Goose Pond, reflecting the glaciated character of the Grafton County terrain before the arrival of modern interstate development.
