1961 Map of Palermo

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The West Branch Sheepscot River winds through this central Maine landscape, where the town of Palermo serves as a focal point for several smaller rural crossroads. This 1961 record shows the region's mid-century distribution of small-scale agriculture and community hubs, including Palermo Sch and several family-named intersections like Sennetts Corner and Hutchins Corner. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies, from the larger Sheepscot Pond and Dutton Pond to smaller marshes and brooks. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Branch Mills Cem, Osgood Cem, and Libby Cem. The map captures a moment before significant modern development, with the landscape still dominated by named ridges such as Yorktown Ridge and Negro Ridge, reflecting the early names given by settlers to the high ground above the many valley ponds.
