About this map

The Sebasticook River serves as the central artery for this part of Somerset County, flowing past the industrial and residential heart of Pittsfield. By the early 1980s, the town appears as a well-established hub, anchored by the Maine Central railroad and educational institutions like MCI High Sch and Warsaw Jr High Sch. The surrounding landscape is defined by a network of rural intersections and family-named landmarks, including Manson Corner, Weeks Corner, and Emerson Corner, which illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of central Maine.

Conservation and recreation areas are prominent, notably the Madawaska Marsh Game Management Area near Douglas Pond. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds such as Fuller Corner Cem and Warren Hill Cem. From the Pittsfield Municipal Airport in the south to the heights of Huff Hill in the northwest, the map documents the balance between the region's river-driven economy and its agrarian roots.
