1955 Map of Thomaston

About this map

Coastal Maine’s mid-century landscape is defined by the confluence of the St George River and the Atlantic, where maritime industry and institutional history intersect. At the heart of the region sits the town of Thomaston, home to the sprawling State Prison and the associated State Prison Farm, highlighting the town’s longstanding role in the state's judicial infrastructure. The tidal flats and intricate coves of the Weskeag River dominate the eastern reach, while the Maine Central Railroad cuts across the terrain, linking the inland quarries of Warren to the shipbuilding and lime-burning centers on the coast.
