1955 Map of Camden

About this map

Camden Hills State Park dominates the northern landscape of this mid-coast Maine survey, where the heights of Mount Megunticook and Mount Battie overlook the bustling harbors of Camden and Rockport. The map illustrates a coastal economy in transition, featuring the long-established waterfronts alongside a growing recreational footprint represented by a Golf Course and Drive-in Theater. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented across the townships, including Mountain View Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and the Amsbury Cem. Inland, smaller settlements like Simonton Corners and Melvin Heights sit along the winding routes of Cobb Road and Washington St, while the Goose River and Megunticook Lake provide the primary freshwater drainage for the region. The southern edge of the sheet captures the northern reaches of Rockland, showing the residential expansion toward Glen Cove and Clam Cove.
