1969 Map of Rumford

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The confluence of the Swift River and the Androscoggin River serves as the industrial heart of this region in the late 1960s. The bustling centers of Rumford and Mexico are shown in high detail, illustrating the dense residential blocks and industrial infrastructure surrounding the Rumford Falls Powerplant. Transportation networks are dominated by the Maine Central railroad and a grid of named streets including Porter Ave and Linnell St, which support the local mill and manufacturing economy. Outside the urban core, the landscape transitions to the steep slopes of Glass Face Mountain and North Twin Mtn. Local family history is preserved through numerous burial grounds like Sunnyside Cem and Farrington-Morton Cem, while community life is visible in the placement of several local schools and the Drive-in Theater along the river bend south of town.
