1958 Map of Somersworth

About this map

The Salmon Falls River serves as the industrial and civic heart of the region, separating Somersworth, New Hampshire, from Berwick, Maine. In this mid-century period, the landscape transitions from the dense street grids of the river towns to a patchwork of upland farms and timbered tracts. The presence of Mathews Millpond, Cider Mill Pond, and Beaver Dam Pond suggests a legacy of small-scale water management and milling that historically powered local activity.
