1957 Map of Great Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Amherst and Aurora anchor this mid-century survey of the Maine interior, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of the West Branch Union River and East Branch Union River. The map reveals a post-war transition in land use, featuring a U S Air Force Survival Training Camp and a U S Air Force Recreation Area situated near Great Pond. Educational history is well-preserved through the locations of local schoolhouses including Washington Sch, Caruso Sch, and McKinley Sch. Notable geological features like The Whalesback and Silsby Plain sit alongside evidence of early aviation, such as an Abandoned Landing Strip near the northern boundary. The presence of Hadley Cem and small rural settlements like North Mariaville provide essential landmarks for genealogists and local historians studying Hancock County's interior townships.
