About this map

Wilsons Mills serves as a focal point in this northern wilderness, situated where the Magalloway River meets the border of Maine and New Hampshire. The landscape is defined by massive land tracts, including the Atkinson and Gilmanton Academy Grant and the Second College Grant, reflecting the region's history of private educational endowments through timberland. These large blocks of territory are intersected by the winding Dead Diamond River and Swift Diamond River, which flow through valleys like Loomis Valley toward their eventual confluence.

Local landmarks such as Emerys Misery and the Diamond Peaks suggest the difficult terrain encountered by early woodsmen. Cultural imprints are found at the College Farm and the Miller-Quinn Landing Strip, while a Covered Br crossing highlights traditional infrastructure still in place during the late 1980s. Along the eastern edge, the waters of Aziscohos Lake and Little Abbott Brook drain toward the Magalloway, illustrating a complex hydrological network vital to the local timber economy.
