1989 Map of Kingsbury

About this map

Kingsbury Pond and the surrounding highlands of Kingsbury Plt and Brighton Plt dominate this 1980s landscape, where drainage patterns define the settlement of the Maine interior. The map captures a region of significant hydrological diversity, with large bogs such as Whitman Bog and Wellington Bog feeding into water bodies like Mayfield Pond and Wyman Pond. Human activity is concentrated along the arterial roads, marked by small hubs like Mayfield Corner and the village of Kingsbury, which is situated near Kingsbury Stream. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations including Foss Mtn and Whittier Hill, while industrial traces appear in the form of a Gravel Pit near the northern shore of the pond. This survey offers a detailed view of the borderlands between Somerset and Piscataquis counties before modern developments altered these rural townships.
