1956 Map of Bingham

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Wyman Lake dominates the central river corridor of this mid-1950s survey, illustrating the industrial and natural landscape of Somerset County. The settlement of Bingham serves as a local hub near the Big Island on the Kennebec River, while the neighboring village of Moscow highlights the importance of the nearby Hydroelectric Plant. The map records a transition from river-valley habitation to the high timberlands of Moxie Mountain and Bald Mountain, with the Appalachian Trail winding through the northern ridges past Caratunk. Local social infrastructure is well-documented through landmarks like the Union Ch and Longfellow Sch, alongside smaller crossroads such as Johnson Corner. Traces of earlier transportation and industry are visible in the Old Grade and various remote outposts like Bald Mountain Sta, which once served the expansive township territories of the Maine north woods.
