1931 Map of Plymouth

About this map

The Pemigewasset River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and industry in this New Hampshire survey, where the Boston and Maine Railroad follows the water through Thornton and Campton. The map captures a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and concentrated valley development, featuring a network of local institutions like the Thornton Center Sch and Holderness Sch. Commercial activity is evidenced by the Tripoli Mill and the Fairgrounds near Plymouth, while the southern reaches showcase the intricate shoreline of Squam Lake with its numerous named islands and coves. The presence of Waterville Forest Camp within the White Mountain National Forest highlights the region's early 20th-century character as a destination for forestry and recreation. For genealogists, the map preserves locations of several local burial grounds, including Pine Grove Cem and Blair Cem.
