1983 Map of Bridgton

About this map

Long Lake and Highland Lake dominate this landscape, illustrating the recreational and residential character of the lakes region during the early 1980s. The village of Bridgton serves as the central hub, situated between these major water bodies and supported by institutions like the North Cumberland Memorial Hosp. The surrounding terrain, defined by features such as Upper Ridge and Lower Ridge, is dotted with family-named cemeteries including Maple Ridge Cem and Finnish Cem, providing significant data for genealogical research. A dense concentration of summer camps like Camp Ticiwa, Camp Wildwoods, and Camp Beaumont along the shorelines reflects the area's long-standing tradition as a seasonal destination. Evidence of local infrastructure includes the Maple Ridge Airport and a Drive-in Theater, highlighting the mid-century developments that persisted into this era of surveying.
