About this map

The Medomak River and its intricate tidal flats define the western landscape of this mid-coastal Maine region during the 1960s. Small, dispersed settlements like South Waldoboro and Wentworth Corners are connected by a network of local roads and the prominent Central Maine route. The map documents a landscape transitioning from agrarian and industrial roots, as seen by the numerous Gravel Pits and the trace of an Old Railroad Grade near Warren Station.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography, from the expansive South Pond and Sidensparker Pond to the secluded coves of the coast. Local landmarks such as Demuth Hill and Stahls Hill provide topographic relief above the river valleys and inlets. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the various Cem locations and small civic structures like the Cushing Sch that served these coastal communities.
