1964 Map of Hiram

About this map

Maine Central Railroad tracks follow the winding course of the Saco River through this mid-1960s landscape, connecting the villages of Hiram and East Hiram. The area is characterized by a high density of small family cemeteries, such as the Fessenden Cem, Harnden Cem, and Berry Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for researchers tracing local lineages. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Allen Mountain and Fessenden Hill interspersed with numerous water bodies, including the large Moose Pond and the smaller Pequawket Pond. Near the town of Denmark, the presence of Camp Walden and a Girls Camp indicates the area's established role in seasonal recreation. Downstream at the edge of the Baldwin town line, Rankins Mill stands near the confluence of local brooks and the river, reflecting the region's historic milling and transport nexus.
