About this map

The Ammonoosuc River and Connecticut River valleys define the rugged landscape of this late 1930s survey, where the timber and rail industries shaped local development. Industrial and transport hubs like Whitefield and Lancaster are shown in detail, alongside smaller railway junctions such as Quebec Junction and Wing Road. The map reveals a dense network of rural education and community life, capturing numerous district schools like the Cushman Union Sch and Stebbins Hill Sch.

Evidence of New Deal-era activity is present at the CCC Camp near Pierce Bridge, while early aviation history is preserved at the Whitefield Landing Field. The rugged eastern terrain transitions into the White Mountain National Forest, featuring prominent peaks like Mt Martha and the North Sugarloaf. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource for locating family plots at the Baptist Hill Cem and Riverside Cem.
