1956 Map of The Forks

About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines the geography of this mid-1950s survey, showing the confluence that gives The Forks its name. The map documents the hydroelectric and industrial infrastructure of the era, anchored by the Harris Dam on Indian Pond and a Gaging Sta downstream. To the south, the settlement at Lake Moxie and the small siding at Troutdale are connected by the rail line winding along the water's edge, while the Franklin Sch serves the local community near the river junction.
