1932 Map of Mascoma

About this map

Lower Shaker Village and Upper Shaker Village sit along the western shores of Mascoma Lake, marking a significant religious and communal landscape in this 1920s survey. The area is defined by a dense network of upland farms and remote school districts, such as Goss Neighborhood Sch and Height of Land Sch, connected by winding roads through the Grafton and Sullivan county hills. The Boston and Maine RR follows the Mascoma River and Indian River, serving industrial and transit points like Pattee Sta and West Canaan. Local commerce and social hubs are evident in unique labels like the Fish Market near Enfield Center, and numerous rural churches including Methodist Hill Ch. This era shows the region before modern highway expansion, where small settlements like Ruddsboro and Lockehaven remained distinct local centers amidst a terrain of granite ledges and numerous ponds like Spectacle Pond and Goose Pond.
