About this map

The Salmon Falls River serves as a natural and political boundary between New Hampshire and Maine, carving a chain of significant water bodies including Northeast Pond, Town House Pond, and Milton Pond. This river-centric geography dictates the local settlement pattern, with the village of Milton and the Boston and Maine railroad line following the western bank in Strafford County. The industrial and community legacy of the region is evident in the cluster of landmarks near the river, such as the Nute High Sch and the Town House.

Across the state line in York County, the landscape transitions to the hills and brooks of Lebanon and Acton. This area is dotted with small crossroads settlements like Center Lebanon and North Lebanon, alongside family-named landmarks such as Laskey Corner and Miller Corner. Genealogists will find interest in the documented burial grounds, including the Milton Mills Cem and Forest Grove Cem, which reflect the long-standing rural communities established along this interstate corridor.
