1970 Map of North Whitefied

About this map

The Sheepscot River and its varied water network define the landscape of Lincoln County in this 1970 study. The settlement of North Whitefield serves as a local hub near the river, characterized by institutional landmarks such as the St Denis Ch, Calvary Cem, and the Whitefield Sch. Further east, the terrain transitions into a dense corridor of ponds and lakes, including the prominent Clary Lake and the elongated Dyer Long Pond. This pattern of scattered rural development is anchored by small community centers like South Jefferson and family-named landmarks like Brooks Turner Hill. The map captures a moment of traditional New England land use where numerous small graveyards, such as Trask Lawn Cem and Hopkins Cem, are situated alongside local brooks and gravel pits, providing a clear record of the area's historic residential footprint.
