1979 Map of Lisbon Falls North

About this map

The Androscoggin River defines the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the industrial and residential centers of Lisbon and Lisbon Falls are situated. The 1970s transportation network is clearly visible, featuring the sweep of the Maine Turnpike and the Maine Central railroad corridor. Further north, the settlement of Sabattus sits at the base of Sabattus Pond, a major water body that feeds the Sabattus River. Rural life is detailed through numerous small hamlets and family-named intersections such as Drinkwater Corner, Robinson Corner, and Higgins Corner. The map reveals a high density of small burial grounds, including Furbush Cem and Sanborn Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted local genealogy of Androscoggin County. Wooded hills like Maxwell Hill and Whitten Hill contrast with the active resource extraction seen at various Gravel Pits throughout the townships.
