1956 Map of Poland

About this map

The Little Androscoggin River winds through this landscape of the mid-1950s, connecting a series of mill towns and crossroads settlements. Industry and tourism define the region, from the manufacturing center at Mechanic Falls to the world-renowned resort grounds of Poland Spring. Transport networks are in a state of transition here, as the modern Maine Turnpike cuts across the southeast corner near Danville Corner, while the traditional rail infrastructure of the Canadian National Railway still serves stations like Empire Road Sta and Lewiston Junction.
