About this map

The Ammonoosuc River carves a central path through this terrain, dictating the placement of early 1930s settlements and transit. The Grand Trunk Railway System follows the river valley, connecting the small communities of Percy and Stark, where the dramatic cliff of Devils Slide looms over the village. This era shows a landscape managed for both industry and conservation, with the White Mountain National Forest spanning the southern peaks, including North Pk and The Horn.

Remote outposts like No 8 Camp and the aptly named Lost Nation hint at the lumbering and isolation of the North Country. Education and civic life are anchored by small schoolhouses like Emerson Sch and Dummer Plain Sch. Significant water features such as Christine Lake and the South Ponds are mapped alongside the Us Fish Hatchery near York Pd, reflecting the region's reliance on its natural aquatic resources.
