1955 Map of Bucksport

About this map

Penobscot River commerce and industrial history define this mid-century look at the coastal corridor between Hampden and Bucksport. The landscape is shaped by the river's deep channel, flanked by the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad on the western shore and the Fort Knox State Park guarding the narrows at Verona. In the village of Frankfort, a prominent Quarry sits on the slopes of Mt Waldo, signaling the area's history of granite production, while numerous small settlements like Coles Corner and Nealeys Corner mark the rural upland intersections.
