About this map

The expansive Damariscotta Lake dominates this mid-1960s survey of Lincoln County, stretching through the western half of the quadrangle from Great Bay south through The Narrows. This coastal Maine landscape is defined by its series of small, dispersed hamlets often centered on road intersections, including Stickney Corner, Kennedy Corner, and Orffs Corner. To the east, the Medomak River winds southward past North Waldoboro, interrupted by several Rapids that historically shaped the local timber and milling economy.

Upland features such as Robinson Ridge and Haskell Hill, topped with a Lookout Tower, provide vertical relief between the river valleys. Evidence of local community life is found at St Giles Ch and the shorefront Camp Wavus, while industrial activity is represented by various Gravel Pit sites near Globe and Stickney Corner. The map reflects a period of transition, with purple revisions from 1973 indicating changes in road alignments and shoreline developments near Morang Cove and Muscongus Bay.
