1960 Map of Belfast

About this map

Belfast serves as the focal point of this Waldo County coastal region, situated where the Passagassawakeag River meets the Belfast Bay. The mid-century town structure is detailed with its concentration of civic and social sites, including the St Margarets Ch, Grove Cemetery, and the Belfast Municipal Airport. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the surrounding landscape is marked by numerous family-named corners such as Evans Corner and Whitecombs Corner, alongside rural processing sites like Poors Mill and Holmes Mill. Moving inland, the terrain transitions into the wetlands of Hayford Bog and Jackson Meadow. A significant feature of the era is the Belfast and Moosehead Lake Railroad, which tracks along the river toward City Point. This survey also captures the cultural shift toward automobile-centric entertainment with the Drive-in Theater located west of the main city center.
