1957 Map of Great Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Aurora and Amherst serve as the primary hubs of this landscape, situated at a junction where the Union River winds through the interior of Hancock County. The map details a post-war era defined by both traditional rural settlement and modern military presence, notably the U S Air Force Survival Training Camp and the U S Air Force Recreation Area at Great Pond. Local education and community life are marked by numerous small schoolhouses, including the McKinley Sch, Pershing Sch, and Caruso Sch, while family-named landmarks like Jellison Hill and Silsby Hill indicate deep-rooted landholdings. To the north, an Abandoned Landing Strip and the Dow Pines area suggest changing land uses, even as the network of brooks like Alligator Stream and The Whalesback Branch maintain the traditional drainage patterns of the region.
