About this map

The Medomak River and its convoluted tidal estuaries dominate this mid-coast Maine landscape during the mid-1960s. The village of Waldoboro sits on the western edge of the sheet, while the Maine Central railroad cuts across the northern landscape through Warren and past Warren Station. This period shows a rural economy still marked by numerous Gravel Pits and dispersed small settlements like South Waldoboro and Lawry.

The boundary between Lincoln and Knox Counties bisects the map, separating the river-centric topography of Waldoboro from the inland ponds and hills of Warren and Friendship. Notable interior features include Sidensparker Pond and Howard Hill, while the coastline is a maze of named points and coves such as Hollis Point, Pitchers Pt, and Sampson Cove. To the southeast, the Cushing Sch serves the community of Wentworth Corners, providing a record of local educational infrastructure before modern consolidation.
