1970 Map of North Whitefied

About this map

North Whitefield and South Jefferson anchor this landscape of glacial ponds and interconnected waterways in the Maine interior. The central focus is the dramatic north-south corridor of Long Dyer Pond and the Sheepscot River, where the terrain rises toward heights like Jones Hill and Brooks Turner Hill. For those researching local history, the map preserves the locations of numerous community institutions, from St Denis Ch and Whitefield Sch to several family-named burial grounds like Trask Lawn Cem and Weeks Cem. The area’s hydrology is well-documented, featuring smaller basins such as Little Dyer Pond, Weary Pond, and Musquash Pond. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Gaging Sta near the river suggests the modest industrial and monitoring activities that supported the local economy and infrastructure at the turn of the 1970s.
