About this map

Coastal Waldo County terrain meets the waters of Penobscot West Bay in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Camden Hills State Park, including Megunticook Mtn and Bald Rock Mtn, which overlook the complex shoreline of Megunticook Lake. Settlement patterns follow established crossroads like Grange Corner and Townhouse Corner, while the village of Lincolnville serves as the coastal anchor at Ducktrap Harbor.

Local history is preserved in the numerous family-named landmarks and community institutions, from the Bayshore Union Ch to the Lincolnville Sch. Resource extraction is evident in the scattered Sand and Gravel Pits found throughout the townships of Northport, Belmont, and Camden. Several burying grounds, such as Maplewood Cem and South Belmont Cem, are clearly marked, providing valuable data for genealogical research into the area's rural families.
