1943 Map of Norridgewock

About this map

The Kennebec River and Sandy River converge in this mid-century portrait of Somerset, Franklin, and Kennebec Counties. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of waterways, including the elongated basins of North Pond, East Pond, and Great Pond. These lakes, alongside Messalonskee Lake, illustrate the region's complex glacial topography. Settlement patterns are focused around traditional town centers like Norridgewock, Mercer, and Vienna, while the interior is dotted with rural institutions such as the Whittier School and Hersom School. Transportation in the early 1940s relied on the Maine Central Railroad, which provided a critical link for communities like North Belgrade Station. Numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Whitehouse Cemetery and Ladd Cemetery, offer significant points of interest for those tracing the local genealogy of these Maine townships.
