1974 Map of Wentworth

About this map

The Baker River and its South Branch Baker River define the eastern valley of this New Hampshire quadrangle, where the town of Wentworth serves as a primary hub. In the mid-1970s, the landscape was largely shaped by the transition from industrial utility to conservation, visible in the Old Railroad Grade and the vast reach of the White Mountain National Forest. Small mountain settlements like Cheever, North Dorchester, and Dorchester are connected by winding routes like the Eastside Road, reflecting a local economy tied to the land and the river.
