1933 Map of Newfield

About this map

The Salmon Falls River serves as the winding boundary between Maine and New Hampshire in this 1933 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by its glacial lakes and interconnected waterways. Small crossroads communities like Milton Mills and South Effingham anchor the regional economy, while the presence of the Spinney Church and the scattered settlement at Woodman provide evidence of early rural social centers. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Province Mtn and Coal Kiln Hill, which overlook a dense network of water bodies including Great East Lake and Province Lake. This map captures the area just as the State of New Hampshire Highway Department was formalizing the local road network, showing a transition between traditional agrarian life and the growing importance of these lakeside regions.
