1935 Map of Whitefield

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the winding border between Vermont and New Hampshire in this mid-1930s survey, marking a distinct boundary between the towns of Lunenburg and Lancaster. The regional landscape is defined by its deep reliance on rail transport, with the Maine Central and Boston and Maine railroads converging at critical points like Quebec Junction and Hazens Pond. The map reveals a transition toward early aviation with the presence of the Whitefield Landing Field, while the CCC Camp in the White Mountain National Forest reflects the era's public works projects near Twin Mountain. Small-scale rural infrastructure is pervasive, documented through numerous numbered schools such as School No 10 and School No 9, alongside family-named landmarks like Baptist Hill and Osburn Hill that anchored these northern New England communities.
