1916 Map of Liberty

About this map

The Wiscasset Waterville & Farmington R R traces a narrow corridor along the western edge of this central Maine landscape, passing through the village of Branch Mills Palermo PO. This 1914 survey illustrates a region defined by its numerous water bodies, including the expansive Sheepscot Pond and St George Lake, which dominate the central terrain. The map captures a high density of rural infrastructure, from the Camp Grounds near Washington Pond to numerous neighborhood institutions like the Hibberts School and Ridge School. Settlement patterns are concentrated at historic crossroads such as South Liberty, Razorville, and Burkettville. This document preserves the complex boundary lines of Hibberts Gore, a distinctive unincorporated area where the Sheepscot and Medomak river systems begin to diverge.
