About this map

The Medomak River corridor defines this coastal Maine landscape, serving as the central artery for the thriving village of Waldoboro. This 1913 survey details a region defined by its tidal inlets and small-scale agricultural settlements, connected by the Maine Central railroad passing through Winslows Mills and Glendon Station. The map illustrates a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, featuring over twenty-five named schools including Duckpuddle School, Slaigo School, and Hodge School.

Coastal peninsulas like Dutch Neck and Gross Neck extend into Broad Cove, where the Broad Cove PO served local maritime and farming families. The interior is dotted with historically significant junctions such as Stickney Corner, Kennedy Corner, and Feylers Corner, many of which were localized hubs for neighborhoods that have since evolved or shifted. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous family-named landmarks like Benner Hill and Haskell Hill, alongside dozens of specifically located schools and stations that anchored these Lincoln County communities.
