About this map

The Baker River valley serves as the central artery for this 1928 survey, where the Boston and Maine Railroad follows the water through a series of mountain-framed settlements. Within the White Mountain National Forest, the map reveals a landscape defined by seasonal industry and rural education, including the Quarry near Quincy and several one-room schoolhouses like Maple Grove Sch and Atwell Hill Sch.

Transport and commerce are concentrated at Swainboro Sta and Rumney Depot, while recreational landmarks such as Stinson Lake and the Polar Caves indicate the region's early 20th-century character. Notable local hubs like Wentworth and Warren appear alongside smaller hamlets such as Cheever and North Dorchester, providing a clear view of the Grafton County interior before significant modernization.
