About this map

Damariscotta Lake dominates the western landscape of this mid-coastal region, its irregular shoreline forming Great Bay and narrow passages like The Narrows. The 1960s terrain is marked by a network of rural settlements and family-named junctions, including Stickney Corner, Globe, and Kennedy Corner. The topography rises to summits such as Haskell Hill, which hosted a Lookout Tower for fire observation, and Bodge Hill overlooking the water.

Eastern drainage is defined by the Medomak River, which flows through North Waldoboro and past multiple rapids. The presence of numerous small cemeteries marked simply as Cem alongside landmarks like St Giles Ch and Camp Wavus reflects the area's long-established community structure. This survey also records the specific agricultural boundaries of the time, shown as fine red dashed lines indicating fence and field lines visible from mid-century aerial photography.
