1948 Map of Kingsbury

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Kingsbury and Wellington anchor this 1948 topographic study of the central Maine highlands, situated where the borders of Piscataquis and Somerset Counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and high ridges, including Bald Mountain Pond and Russell Mtn to the north, while the Piscataquis River cuts through the northeast corner near Abbot. The map reveals a pattern of rural clusters often named for local families, such as Mayfield Corner, Burdin Corner, and Moody Corner, providing a detailed look at the post-war settlement structure before significant consolidation. Local infrastructure of the era is evident in features like the Campbell Sch and several historic burial grounds, including Foss Hill Cem and Taylor Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing regional history. Forested heights such as Kelly Mtn, topped by a Lookout Tower, overlook the numerous bogs and flowages that characterize the local drainage system.
