1960 Map of Morrill

About this map

Quantabacook Lake and the winding course of Marsh Stream anchor this mid-century view of the Waldo County interior. The map illustrates a landscape of small rural settlements defined by family-named crossroads like Fosters Corner, Philbricks Corner, and Pauls Corner. The transition from active farming to managed forest is evident in the sprawling Frye Mountain State Game Management Area, where a Lookout Tower stands atop Frye Mtn. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous small burial grounds, including Sunny Side Cem and Pierce Hill Cem, alongside public landmarks like the East Knox Sch. Industrial activity is represented by several Sand and Gravel Pits concentrated near Morrill, while the southern reaches are dominated by the wetlands of Witcher Swamp and Greers Bog.
