1979 Map of Lisbon Falls South

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves through the landscape of the late 1970s, serving as a boundary between several Maine towns and counties. This survey shows the industrial and community hubs of Lisbon Falls and Pejepscot as they were organized around the Maine Central railroad corridor and the river's power. Away from the water, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural cemeteries and family landmarks like Vining Cem, Littlefield Cem, and the Plummer Mill site. Local history is etched into the landscape through features like the Shiloh church and several named heights such as Cox Pinnacle and Bald Rock. The map records a mix of traditional land use, represented by numerous Gravel Pits, alongside mid-century developments like the Drive-in Theater near Hillside, reflecting the evolving character of Durham and Brunswick during this era.
