1983 Map of China Lake

About this map

The expansive waters of China Lake dominate this central Maine landscape, which illustrates a transitional period of rural development in the early 1980s. The map details several distinct villages that grew around the water bodies, including North Vassalboro, East Vassalboro, and South Vassalboro along the western edge, and the communities of China and South China to the east. These settlements are linked by a network of established local routes like Getchell Corner Rd and Bond Road, reflecting the area's history as a collection of interconnected hamlets.
