1970 Map of North Whitefield

About this map

The Sheepscot River carves through the landscape of Lincoln County in the early 1970s, serving as a primary corridor for the communities of North Whitefield and Whitefield. This survey emphasizes a water-rich interior defined by numerous lakes and ponds, including Clary Lake, Dyer Long Pond, and the northern reaches of Damariscotta Lake. Local life is anchored by established institutions such as St Denis Ch and the Whitefield Sch, while a network of cemeteries like Trask Lawn Cem and Noyes Cem offers valuable data for genealogists tracing family histories in Jefferson and Alna. The map illustrates a rural Maine economy transitioning through the mid-20th century, with scattered gravel pits and a gaging station alongside traditional farm-to-market roads and family-named elevations like Jones Hill and Weeks Hill.
