1934 Map of Milan

About this map

The Androscoggin River dominates this Coos County landscape, cutting a deep valley through the northern White Mountains region. During this era, the river served as a vital corridor for both transport and industry, flanked by the State Highway and a series of rural schools including the Jewett Sch and Willis Sch. The settlement of Milan serves as a local hub, while the presence of the Berlin Landing Field indicates the early development of regional aviation infrastructure. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it approaches the Maine border, featuring the notable Mahoosuc Notch and the beginning of the Mahoosuc Notch Trail. In the northern reach, Umbagog Lake and its various coves like Thurston Cove mark the transition toward the northern wilderness, reflecting a landscape defined by timber, water power, and early recreational hiking.
