1955 Map of Friendship

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The coastal village of Friendship serves as a central hub on this mid-century survey of the Maine shoreline, where the Meduncook River meets Friendship Bay. This map reveals a maritime landscape shaped by the granite and brine of the Atlantic, featuring the intricate guts and coves of the Cushing and Friendship peninsulas. Further east, the fishing community of Port Clyde sits at the tip of its own peninsula, protected by a prominent Coast Guard Station and the outer barrier of the Georges Islands. The geography recorded here is one of working waterfronts and secluded points, where family and community landmarks like the Wayside Cem, Harbor Cem, and the Town Hall anchor the small settlements. Significant islands including Cranberry Island, Thompson Island, and the outlying Franklin Island delineate the complex navigation of the Old Hump Channel and the St George River.
