1956 Map of Norridgewock

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Kennebec River and Sandy River converge near Norridgewock, anchoring a landscape defined by the transition from river-valley agriculture to the expansive Belgrade Lakes region. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of Somerset and Kennebec counties, where historic hill settlements like Rome and Mercer sit among numerous water bodies. The presence of specialized camps such as Camp Abena on Great Pond and Pine Tree Camp on North Pond reflects the area's established role as a summer destination. Local education and community roots are evidenced by a network of district schoolhouses, including the Wiley Sch and Dudley Sch, alongside several family and community burial grounds like Sunset View Cem. The intricate waterway known as The Serpentine connects the larger lakes, illustrating the complex glacial drainage patterns that shaped this interior Maine terrain.
