1956 Map of Bingham

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The industrial and recreational landscape of Somerset County unfolds along the Kennebec River in the mid-1950s. The central feature is Wyman Lake, created by the damming of the river, with its Hydroelectric Plant located just north of the settlement at Bingham. This period shows the transition between a river-driven economy and modern infrastructure, where a Gaging Station monitors the water levels and the Appalachian Trail winds through the hills west of the reservoir. Local education and community life are represented by the Longfellow Sch and Union Cem. To the north, the geography is dominated by large water bodies like Moxie Pond and Pleasant Pond, alongside numerous smaller ponds such as Big Dimmick Pond and the Heald Ponds, which define the timber and sporting character of the region.
