About this map

Somersworth, New Hampshire, and the neighboring Maine town of Berwick are divided by the Salmon Falls River in this 2015 study of the border region. The landscape is a mix of industrial history and rural topography, featuring the settlement of Foundry and several mills and reservoirs that shaped the local economy. Water power was clearly essential to the area's development, evidenced by features like Cider Mill Pond, Mathews Millpond, and the Great Works River Reservoir.

Away from the river center, the terrain is defined by a series of named elevations including Beech Ridge, Diamond Hill, and Blackberry Hill. Local transport and landmarks, such as the Perrotti Skyranch Airfield and the historic Stackpole Bridge, provide reference points for modern researchers. The map also documents quiet corners like Evergreen Cem and the small crossroads at Five Corners, preserving the spatial relationship between the hills, brooks, and residential lanes that characterize this New England borderland.
