About this map

Damariscotta Lake and the winding Medomak River define this coastal Lincoln County landscape during the mid-1960s. The region is characterized by a series of north-south oriented ridges and interconnected water bodies, including Pemaquid Pond and Duckpuddle Pond. The settlement pattern follows these natural corridors, with clusters at Waldoboro, Nobleboro, and Winslows Mills linked by the Maine Central Railroad.

Evidence of the local maritime and agrarian economy is visible in the numerous gravel pits and the detailed mapping of coastal features like Dutch Neck and Bremen Long Island. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the St Pauls Chapel to rural burial sites such as Riverside Cem and Dunbar Cem. The inclusion of the Lookout Tower on Johnston Hill and the Nobleboro Central Sch provides a look at the civic infrastructure serving these Maine communities before later 20th-century developments.
