About this map

Boothbay Harbor and its surrounding coastal peninsulas define this 1957 revision of mid-century Lincoln County. The intricate shoreline is marked by tidal inlets and deep-water passages such as the Sheepscot River and Damariscotta River, which separate the major landmasses of Barters Island and Southport Island. The map records a landscape tied to maritime heritage and seasonal recreation, featuring the Coast Guard Station on Damiscove Island and the Pemaquid Light beacon.

Inland, the settlement pattern reflects deep-rooted community life centered on sites like the Old Walpole Meeting House and several country churches, including the Harrington Ch and South Bristol Union Ch. Infrastructure of the era is evident in the Maine Central RR tracks crossing the northwest corner near Ozone Mtn, while recreational landmarks like the Wawenock Country Club and Reid State Park show the mid-century growth of the region as a coastal destination.
