1944 Map of Freeport

About this map

The Androsccogin River winds through the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, powering industry at Lisbon Falls and Pejepscot while defining the border between Androsccogin and Sagadahoc counties. To the south, the intricate shoreline of Casco Bay reveals a maritime economy centered on Maquoit Bay and the Harraseeket River. The 1941 survey documents a transitional era where traditional river-and-rail transport, represented by the Maine Central and Canadian National lines, intersects with early conservation efforts at Bradbury Mountain State Park. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Plummer Mill on Meadow Brook to numerous family-named burial sites such as the Lunt Memorial Cem and Gerrish Cem. Small rural schools like Hacker Sch and Cedar Sch are scattered among inland settlements like Southwest Bend and Pownal Center, illustrating the decentralized social fabric of mid-century coastal Maine.
