1957 Map of Gorham

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Presumpscot River serves as the primary industrial artery for this mid-century landscape, powering developments from Little Falls to South Windham. The town center of Gorham is a notable hub of education and activity, anchored by the State Teachers College and the nearby Gorham Raceway. While the Maine Central Railroad still defines the northern transport corridors, an old railroad grade further south signals a transition in the region's transportation network. This survey records a mix of institutional presence and small-scale agriculture, shown through features like the State Reformatory for Men and the Gorham Town Farm. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped, including Eastern Cemetery and the Whitney Sch Cemetery, alongside local landmarks like the Maine Forestry Service station and the Nursing Home near the Westbrook city boundary.
