About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this mid-century landscape, driving the industrial and academic development of the region. The map captures the significant footprint of the University of Maine in Orono, alongside several distinct riverside settlements that grew around the local water power. Clusters of activity are visible at Great Works, Basin Mills, and Milford, illustrating the dense river-and-rail economy facilitated by the Maine Central railroad.
