1955 Map of Camden

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Camden Hills State Park dominates the northern landscape, where Mount Battie rises above the harbor and a prominent Observatory overlooks the coastline. This mid-century survey captures the maritime orientation of Camden and Rockport, where the village structures follow the natural contours of Sherman Cove and Rockport Harbor. Inland, the map reveals a pattern of rural clusters and local landmarks, including Lake City near Megunticook Lake and the small crossroads at Simonton Corners. Local industry is evidenced by a Fish Hatchery and several pits, while the community's history is preserved in numerous burial grounds like Oak Hill Cem and Mountain View Cem. The transition from the high elevations of Bald Mountain to the depths of West Penobscot Bay is clearly delineated, showing the intricate relationship between the coastal shelf and the rocky Maine interior during the mid-1950s.
