1955 Map of Skowhegan

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Kennebec River flows through the southwest corner of this Somerset County landscape, where the town of Skowhegan serves as a central hub for transportation and community life. In the mid-1950s, the area's economy is reflected in the numerous mills and specialized educational sites, from Waltons Mill and Malbons Mills to the Somerset Academy in Athens. The mapping of small rural schools like Whittier Sch and Revere Sch alongside many family-named cemeteries, such as the Richards Cem and Kinsman Cem, provides a detailed view of the era's settlement patterns. Recreation and early modern leisure are evident in the presence of Great Moose Lake and specialized summer camps like Camp Modin for Girls and Camp Modin for Boys near Lake George. The Maine Central railroad and a local Airstrip highlight the evolving transport network of mid-century central Maine.
