1955 Map of Anson

About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines the geography of this mid-century Somerset County survey, serving as the industrial and transit spine for communities like Madison, Anson, and Solon. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of upland farms and rural intersections, many of which are identified by family-named landmarks such as Barron Corner, Ellis Corner, and Martin Corner. The Maine Central Railroad and the historic Arnold Trail parallel the river, tracing the same path used by early travelers through the Kennebec valley.
