1944 Map of Kennebunk

About this map

The Mousam River and Kennebunk River dictate the development of this coastal York County landscape, where the inland mills of Alfred Mills and Roberts Mills once powered the local economy. In the early 1940s, the region was defined by a network of rural school districts, including School No 14 and School No 7, alongside small crossroads like Highpine and Wells Branch. The coastal strip shows the established seasonal character of Wells Beach and Ogunquit Beach, while the interior remains dominated by significant wetlands such as The Great Heath and Johns Swamp. Industrial and transportation infrastructure is prominent, from the Sanford Airport to the vital corridor of the Boston and Maine Railroad. Local landmarks like the State Police Sta near Elms and the North Chapel provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing family locations in the mid-20th century.
