1900 Map of Whitefield

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Whitefield and Lancaster anchor this late 19th-century landscape where the industrial and recreational character of the White Mountains is on full display. The convergence of major rail lines, including the Maine Central R. R. and the Boston and Maine R. R., created a complex network of hubs like Whitefield Junction and Quebec Junction. This infrastructure supported both the timber industry and the burgeoning tourism era, evidenced by the prominent locations of the Mount View House and Overlook House. To the west, the Connecticut River marks the state boundary, though the margin notes the state line remained in controversy during the survey. The southern portion of the map transition into high peaks and the White Mountain National Forest, where the terrain rises toward Three Sugarloaves and Agassiz Mt.. The settlement pattern follows the river valleys and rail corridors, connecting established towns like Bethlehem and Maplewood to the more remote eastern reaches of the White Mountains.
