1957 Map of Boothbay

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Fort Edgecomb stands at the northern narrows of the Sheepscot River, overlooking a labyrinth of tidal rivers and jagged peninsulas that define the Midcoast region in the late 1950s. This survey details the complex maritime geography between Westport Island and Pemaquid Neck, where fishing villages like Boothbay Harbor, New Harbor, and South Bristol anchor the local economy. The landscape is dotted with historical markers of early Maine settlement, including the Old Walpole Meeting House and family-named sites like Grover Cem. While the Maine Central RR skirts the northern edge, the interior is shaped by the winding courses of the Damariscotta River and the Back River. From the offshore Damariscove Island with its U S Coast Guard Sta Damiscove to the summer retreats at Ocean Point, the map captures a coastal society balancing its deep colonial roots with growing mid-century recreation.
