About this map

Stark and Milan are central to this 1930s survey of Coos County, where the Ammonoosuc River and the Grand Trunk railroad carve a vital transit corridor through the White Mountain National Forest. The map documents a landscape defined by sharp peaks like the Percy Peaks and Hutchins Mtn, interspersed with rural social hubs such as the Emerson Sch and the Dummer Plain Sch.

Settlements like Percy, Crystal, and the curiously named Lost Nation appear alongside industrial and conservation landmarks, including a Fire Tower and the U S Fishery near York Pond. Water bodies like Christine Lake and Nash Bog Pond highlight the importance of the region's watersheds. This document captures the northern forest before modern development, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks like Dickey Hill and Bickford Hill that are essential for local genealogical research.
