About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines the industrial and social landscape of this central Maine region in the early 1980s. This survey details the urban centers of Fairfield, Waterville, and Winslow, where the Maine Central railroad lines parallel the river to support local industry. The geography is punctuated by numerous islands like Lily Island and Nutts Island, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the more rural environments of Benton and Albion.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including the Ames Cem, Maplewood Cem, and McClintock Cem. Significant recreational and educational landmarks are visible, such as Camp Caribou on the shores of Pattee Pond and the Lawrence High Sch Ath Fld. From the small settlements at Benton Falls and Shawmut to the many family-named corners like Goodwin Corner and Hayden Corner, the map documents the established settlement patterns of the late 20th century before significant modern expansion.
