1944 Map of Boothbay

About this map

The tidal rivers and rocky peninsulas of Lincoln County dominate this 1941 survey, showing the intricate coastline of Midcoast Maine during the World War II era. Wiscasset serves as a primary hub where the Maine Central railroad crosses the Sheepscot River, while further south, the harbor towns like Boothbay Harbor and Southport reflect the region's deep maritime roots. The map details a landscape of narrow inlets and islands, from Barters Island to the tip of Newagen. Small inland settlements and crossroads such as Boothbay Center and East Edgecomb are connected by a network of early state roads, including Route 1. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, such as Woodlawn Cem and Oaklawn Cem, alongside neighborhood institutions like Lincoln Sch and Gladstone Sch. The detailed rendering of Pemaquid Harbor and Johns Bay illustrates the complex seafaring geography of this historic coastal stretch.
