1957 Map of Lincoln

About this map

The Penobscot River flows through the heart of this mid-century survey, dividing the landscape into a complex network of islands and rapids. All islands within the river, including Mohawk I and Mattanawcook Island, are noted as part of the Penobscot Indian Reservation. The river serves as the primary corridor for industry and transport, anchored by the West Enfield Dam and the settlement of Lincoln. The regional economy is further defined by the intersection of the Maine Central and Canadian Pacific railroads, which facilitated movement through the dense woods and boggy lowlands.
