About this map

The Pemigewasset River corridor serves as the primary artery of activity in this 1928 survey, dominated by the timber and transport legacy of the White Mountains. The Boston and Maine railroad tracks parallel the river, connecting industrial points like Beebe River and Lyfords Siding to the larger markets of the south. This era shows the region in a state of specialized mountain industry, highlighted by the Tripoli Mill in the north and the cluster of civic life in Campton Upper Village and Campton Lower Village.

Education and local commerce are deeply granular, with several one-room schoolhouses such as the Pulsifer Hill Sch and Mad River Sch serving isolated rural pockets. In the southeast, the shoreline of Squam Lake begins to show the early footprints of recreation at Rockywold and Deep-haven, while the vast interior remains largely wild, defined by landmarks like Dickey Notch and the Waterville Forest Camp.
