1937 Map of Newfield

About this map

Little Ossipee River flows through a landscape defined by industrial hamlets and glacial water bodies during the mid-1930s. This survey, compiled from work in 1889 and 1933, details the borderlands of Maine and New Hampshire, where the Salmon Falls River and several massive lakes like Great East Lake and Balch Pond dominate the western edge. Small village centers such as Ossipee Mills and Limerick appear alongside family-named landmarks like Wiggin Mountain and Mann Mountain. The distribution of rural landmarks, including the Spinney Ch and numerous remote ponds, reflects the late-depression era settlement patterns before modern development altered the rural character of York County. The map provides a distinct view of the transition from the rugged upland terrain of Hosac Mountain to the mill-driven economies of the lower valleys.
