1915 Map of Waldoboro

About this map

The Medomak River and St. George River dominate this coastal Maine landscape, shaping the development of Waldoboro and surrounding townships just before the mid-1920s. The map reveals a high density of rural infrastructure, from the Maine Central Railroad stopping at Glendon Station and Nobleboro Station to the numerous one-room schoolhouses such as Nye School, Slaigo School, and Duckpuddle School. This survey captures the region's mid-coast transition, where inland farming at North Waldoboro and Stickney Corner met the maritime economy of the Broad Cove PO area and Flying Passage. Genealogical researchers will find value in the family-named landmarks like Hoffses Pt, Robinson Ridge, and Kennedy Corner, which anchor the landscape to the local families of the era. The intricate network of tidal rivers, including the Meduncook River and Goose River, illustrates the complex geography that dictated trade and travel routes through Friendship and Bremen.
