Aquedoctan Indian Village

Boardwalk Bluesboy — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 03:12:42 +0000

by: Boardwalk Bluesboy

Description: An advertisement from the 1938 Lakes Region Association's Where to Guide. The Aquedoctan Indian Village was located at the corner of White Oaks Road and Weirs Boulevard. The ad claimed that the trading post was operated by a real Indian chief! Yeah, right. Could this have been the forerunner to Paugus Bay Sporting Goods, still located on Weirs Bouleveard in this approximate location?

1785 Map

Boardwalk Bluesboy — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 15:44:46 +0000

by: Boardwalk Bluesboy

Description: From the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library. Website: maps.bpl.org. By John Norman, published in 1785 by Norman and Coles. Quotation: This map was the first American wall map, and among the most important early maps published in the United States...the earliest accurate survey of the New England region published in the new nation. Due to a chronic lack of trained surveyors, engravers and printers in post-Revolutionary War America, very few maps of any kind were published before 1790. Utilizing information from several earlier maps and coastal charts published in England, this map of the four New England states...added subsantial new information in the northern portions of the map, particularly for the New Hampshire townships...
