1979 Map of Lake Auburn East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves through the heart of this landscape, its waters slowed by the Gulf Island Dam to form the expansive Gulf Island Pond. Along its banks and the surrounding hills, small settlements like Greene Corner and Auburn Plains mark the rural character of Androscoggin County in the late 1970s. The map illustrates a region in transition, where established towns like Greene and the northern outskirts of Lewiston and Auburn coexist with active agricultural and industrial features. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds, including the River Road Cem and the Herrick Cem, alongside more modern landmarks like Twitchell Airport and the State Fairground. The presence of the Maine Central Railroad and the concentration of gravel pits near the river suggest an economy historically tied to both extraction and efficient transport.
