1913 Map of Waldoboro

About this map

The Medomak River corridor serves as the central artery for this coastal Maine region, where the economy and community life were firmly rooted in water and rail access before the First World War. Waldoboro emerges as a primary hub, supported by the Maine Central Railroad and several vital transit points including Waldoboro Station, Glendon Station, and Nobleboro Station. The landscape is densely packed with a network of local institutions, from the Old Dutch Church to numerous rural schoolhouses such as the Duck Puddle School, Goshen School, and the Niggertown School, reflecting a highly localized social structure common in the early 20th century.
