About this map

Hibberts Gore and the surrounding township lands of Waldo County and Lincoln County appear here during the early 1940s, revealing a landscape defined by small-scale farming and crossroads settlements. The drainage of the Sheepscot River and its west branch creates a network of water bodies like Sheepscot Pond and St George Lake, which were central to local life. This area was a mosaic of rural school districts, with sites such as Handy Sch, Ridge Sch, and Linscott Sch serving the scattered population at the time of the survey.

Distinctive hamlets such as The Kingdom and the Branch Mills Palermo Post Office are shown as they functioned before modern highway expansion. The map provides a clear record of family-named crossroads like Gregorys Corner, Whites Corner, and Connors Corner, which anchored the local community. Higher elevations like Appleton Ridge and Hogback Mtn delineate the rugged topography between the Medomak River and the coastal-bound streams.
