1957 Map of Burnham

About this map

Unity Pond and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Central Maine define this 1950s-era revision, showcasing a region structured by small crossroads settlements and seasonal water features. The Belfast and Moosehead Lake Railroad cuts through the territory, linking Burnham (Burnham Junc.) with towns like Unity and Thorndike, illustrating the mid-century rail-and-river economy. The map is particularly rich in local community landmarks, including the Freedom Academy and several specialized rural schools such as the Troy Central Sch and Thorndike Center Sch.
