1955 Map of Skowhegan

About this map

Skowhegan serves as the industrial and population anchor of this mid-century Somerset County landscape, situated along the Sebasticook River and the Maine Central rail line. The map reveals a transition between established town centers and a rural interior defined by local education and industry, such as Somerset Academy in Athens and various milling operations like Malbons Mills and Waltons Mill. Genealogy researchers will find several scattered schoolhouses, including the Whittier Sch and Cleveland Sch, alongside numerous family-named cemeteries such as Kinsman Cem and Chadborne Cem.
