1956 Map of The Forks

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The confluence of the Kennebec River and the Dead River anchors this mid-century portrait of Somerset County. Settled within the deep valleys of The Forks, the landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the timber and power industries. The massive Harris Dam regulates the river's flow, while a network of woods roads, including the Tote Road, connects remote timber stands to the water. Local life is documented at the Franklin Sch and Ball Sch, providing essential coordinates for genealogists tracing families in the townships of West Forks and Caratunk.
