1965 Map of Waldoboro East

About this map

The estuarine fingers of the Medomak River and Back River define the coastline of this mid-coast Maine landscape during the mid-1960s. The region is characterized by a mix of tidal flats and inland freshwater bodies like Sidensparker Pond and South Pond, with several hills such as Willett Hill and Howard Hill rising above the shore. Smaller settlements and crossroads including South Waldoboro and Wentworth Corners are connected by a network of rural roads and the Maine Central Railroad Grade. Numerous gravel pits scattered throughout Warren and Waldoboro indicate a persistent local extraction industry. Along the jagged shoreline, family-named landmarks like Dutch Neck, Jones Neck, and Boot Neck separate the coves, while islands such as Hungry Island and Wolsgrover Island sit just offshore, reflecting the deep-rooted maritime and agricultural geography of Lincoln and Knox Counties.
