1955 Map of Stetson

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Sebasticook Lake and the wetlands of Plymouth Bog and Etna Bog dominate this central Penobscot County landscape during the mid-1950s. The settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of small villages and crossings, including Exeter Center, Stetson, and Etna, many linked by the southern transit corridor of the Maine Central Railroad. Industrial remnants like McGregor Mill and French Mill Stream point to a local economy historically tied to water power, while the numerous family-named burial grounds such as Crowell Cem, Boutell Cem, and Page Cem provide a rich resource for genealogists. The map also captures infrastructure of the era, from the Durham Bridge at the northern tip of the lake to the Longfellow Sch in the south, reflecting a quiet period of rural Maine life before modern highway expansion shifted the region's focus.
