About this map

The Salmon Falls River marks the boundary between New Hampshire and Maine in this late-1950s study of York and Carroll counties. The landscape is defined by its deep interconnected waters, including Great East Lake, Square Pond, and Province Lake, which anchor several small resort and agricultural communities. Local industry and social centers are well-documented, from the Gaging Station and Ski Area near Bond Mountain to small hamlets like Limerick Mills and Ossipee Mills.

Genealogists can find numerous family-named locations such as Emerys Corner, Felch Corner, and Roberts Corner, alongside specific landmarks like the Shapleigh Memorial School and Shady Nook Church. The topographical detail captures the region's complex drainage and peaks, featuring prominent elevations like Dearborn Mountain and Randall Mountain. This edition reflects the mid-century infrastructure of the Maine-New Hampshire border before modern development altered the rural character of towns like Parsonsfield and Shapleigh.
