1956 Map of Lewiston

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a deep industrial and topographic path through this mid-century landscape, separating the twin cities of Lewiston and Auburn. The urban core is tightly packed with landmarks like Bates College, the State Fairgrounds, and several specialized facilities including the City Farm and the Fish Hatchery. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a dense network of agricultural corners and rural settlements such as Greene Corner and Webster Corner, many defined by the intersection of the Maine Central Railroad and the newly prominent Maine Turnpike.
