1934 Map of Percy

About this map

The Upper Ammonoosuc River carves a deep valley through this northern New Hampshire landscape, serving as the primary corridor for both the Grand Trunk railroad and early automotive travel. This 1934 survey documents the remote settlements and logging history of the region, from the curiously named Lost Nation in the southwest to West Milan in the east. The rugged topography is defined by significant summits like Mt Cabot, The Horn, and Hutchins Mtn, much of which is contained within the White Mountain Forest. Small rural schools, including the Emerson Sch and Blake Sch, are scattered along the river valley, marking the centers of these isolated mountain communities. The presence of No 8 Camp and numerous ponds like Nash Bog Pond and Christine Lake reflect a landscape shaped by timber interests and glacial geography.
