1960 Map of Searsmont

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The St George River flows through the heart of this mid-coast Maine landscape, anchoring the village of Searsmont and providing the power for local industry like Shermans Mill. Small hamlets and family-named intersections such as Gushees Corner, Bickfords Corner, and Knights Corner define the settlement pattern, which is heavily influenced by the prominent north-south orientation of Appleton Ridge and Muzzy Ridge. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites, including the Oak Grove Cem and East Searsmont Cem, reflecting the early farming families of Belmont and Appleton. The map also captures the transition from agriculture to natural recovery, with landmarks like Whitney Bog and Quantabacook Lake interspersed among old gravel pits and woodlots that characterize the rural Waldo and Knox County borderlands during the mid-twentieth century.
