1982 Map of Newport

About this map

Sebasticook Lake serves as the dominant focal point for this region of Central Maine, where the Newport village center sits at the lake's southern outlet. This 1982 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its complex hydrology and the infrastructure of the late twentieth century. To the west, Palmyra and Dogtown are connected by rural roads that weave around numerous wetlands like Robbers Bog and Whites Pond. The industrial and transport history of the area is represented by the Maine Central railroad corridor, which parallels the Sebasticook River through Detroit.
