1955 Map of Pittsfield

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Pittsfield and Newport anchor this mid-century portrait of Central Maine, where the Maine Central railroad and a network of brooks connect numerous family-named crossroads. The landscape is defined by the significant waters of Great Moose Lake and Sebasticook Lake, supporting recreation and early industry at sites like the Wild Goose Club and Big Indian Camps. The map details a transition from the agricultural heritage of Palmyra and Ripley toward the development of mid-century infrastructure, including a Substation, Drive-in Theater, and a private Airport near the Sebasticook River. Local genealogy is well-served by the many small burials and rural institutions, such as Pine Grove Cem and the Palmyra Consolidated Sch, which reflect the community structure of Somerset and Penobscot counties during this era.
