1980 Map of Bowdoinham

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Bowdoinham and the meandering Cathance River define this rural landscape in Sagadahoc County during the late 20th century. The settlement pattern is anchored by several historic corners, including Richmond Corner, Varney Corner, and Starbird Corner, reflecting the area's agricultural and crossroads heritage. The map provides a detailed view of local genealogy through numerous burial grounds like North Cem, Hix Small Cem, and Coombs Cem, often situated near family-named landmarks like Hornbeam Hill. Modern infrastructure, such as the Maine Turnpike and Merrymeeting Field, contrasts with the winding Dead River and Sedgeley Brook. This survey provides a precise record of the transition from wooded ridges like Bowdoinham Ridge to the tidal flats near Patten Pt, capturing the town's character before modern suburban development further altered the traditional Maine township structure.
