1965 Map of Waldoboro West

About this map

The Medomak River and its intricate tidal flats define the eastern edge of this coastal Maine landscape, where the Maine Central RR cuts through the heart of Waldoboro. This mid-1960s survey captures the distinct transition from the forested hills of the interior, such as Benner Hill and Cordwood Hill, to the complex waterway systems of Pemaquid Pond and Damariscotta Lake. The map reveals a high density of small, named crossroads settlements including Eugley Corner, Sprague Corner, and Harrington Corner, reflecting a community structure built around historic family homesteads and local trade. Cultural landmarks like St Pauls Chapel, the Miller School, and the Johnston Hill Lookout Tower provide specific points of reference for genealogists. The topography is also dotted with numerous Gravel Pits, signaling the local extraction industries that operated alongside the region's agricultural and maritime traditions.
