1996 Map of Brunswick

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a deep bend around Brunswick and Topsham, defining a landscape where historic academic life meets mid-century military infrastructure. At the heart of the settlement, the campus of Bowdoin College and the landmark First Parish Cem represent the area's long-standing cultural roots, while the expansive Brunswick Naval Air Station dominates the eastern flatlands. The map reveals the intricate water network of Merrymeeting Bay, where the Cathance River and Muddy River converge amidst a series of large river islands like Cow Island and Driscoll Island. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Riverside Cem and Maquoit Cem, while the Maine Central RR tracks trace the industrial corridor connecting Cooks Corner to West Bath.
