About this map

The Presumpscot River and Stroudwater River systems define the industrial and residential corridors of this mid-1950s Maine landscape. This era shows the heavy footprint of the Maine Central Railroad and the Boston and Maine Railroad as they weave through established neighborhoods like Rosemont, Libbytown, and Cumberland Mills. The map captures a period of significant institutional growth, featuring prominent landmarks such as the Westbrook Junior College, the University of Maine (Portland), and the State School for Boys.
