1955 Map of Camden

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mount Battie stands watch over the mid-coast harbor of Camden in the mid-1950s, a period when the local economy balanced its maritime roots with growing tourism and residential expansion. This survey details the transition from the steep elevations of Bald Mountain and the Camden Hills State Park down to the bustling waterfronts of Rockport Harbor and the northern edge of Rockland. Inland, smaller agricultural and residential clusters like Melvin Heights and Simonton Corners are visible alongside specialized landmarks like the Fish Hatchery near Megunticook Lake. The coastline is heavily marked with navigational aids and hazards such as Curtis Island, Dillingham Ledge, and Porterfield Ledge, reflecting the active seafaring nature of Penobscot Bay. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cem and Ames Cem, alongside mid-century entertainment like the Drive-in Theater in Rockport.
