1965 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Damariscotta Lake dominates this mid-1960s landscape, with its northern reaches extending into Great Bay and narrow passages at The Narrows. The settlement of Jefferson sits at the northern tip of the lake, serving as a focal point for a region defined by scattered farming communities and intricate water networks. To the east, the Medomak River winds through the countryside near North Waldoboro, passing multiple rapids and small settlements like Flanders Corner and Bogues Corner. Numerous named hills, such as Haskell Hill with its lookout tower and Robinson Ridge, separate the river valleys and lake basins. The presence of several historic cemeteries and the St Giles Ch indicates a deeply rooted community structure, while various gravel pits suggest the local importance of resource extraction during this period. The survey also captures the boundary transition between Knox and Lincoln Counties as it cuts across the rural townships of Nobleboro and Waldoboro.
