About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this mid-coast region, dividing the landscape between Waldo, Penobscot, and Hancock counties. The maritime and industrial character of the late 1940s is evident in the dense cluster of settlements along the water, from the shipping and rail hubs at Bucksport and Winterport to the defensive grounds of Fort Knox State Park. The map captures a sophisticated transportation network where the Maine Central and Bangor and Aroostook railroads parallel the river, connecting historic villages like Hampden Highlands and North Orrington.
