1941 Map of Boothbay

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Fort Edgecomb stands at the northern narrows where the Maine Central RR crosses the river, anchoring a landscape of intricate coastal peninsulas and island chains as they appeared in the early 1940s. The maritime economy of the Midcoast is evident in the cluster of settlements around Boothbay Harbor and East Boothbay, while the interior shows a reliance on small-scale industry at Bristol Mills. Local heritage is preserved in numerous family and community sites, such as the North Edgecomb Cem and the Gladstone Sch near Walpole. The complex navigation of the region is traced through landmarks like Hendricks Head and the many inlets of Johns Bay. From the fishing villages of New Harbor and South Bristol to the summer colonies at Christmas Cove, this survey provides a look at the established coastal networks before mid-century modernization altered the rural character of the Maine shore.
