1960 Map of Passadumkeag

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this portion of Maine, where the Maine Central Railroad parallels its western banks through Passadumkeag and Olamon. The river landscape is dotted with significant islands, including Sugar Island and Olamon Island, which are part of the Penobscot Indian Reservation. This era shows a community infrastructure built around natural resources and seasonal recreation, evidenced by the Fish Hatchery near Cold Stream Pond and a State Nursery located just north of Scotts Corners. Local life is anchored by small-town institutions like the Township Sch and rural worship centers such as Cardville Ch and Alton Ch. The map also captures mid-century social markers, such as a Drive-in Theater near West Enfield, alongside numerous family burial grounds including Sunny Slope Cem and Edinburg Cem.
