About this map

Winslows Mills and Waldoboro anchor the northeastern corridor of this coastal Lincoln County landscape, where the Maine Central Railroad follows the path of the Medomak River. The map captures a transitional maritime economy, with numerous gravel pits interspersed among long-established community centers like Nobleboro and West Waldoboro. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Dunbar Cem and Creamer Cem, alongside institutional markers such as the Nobleboro Central Sch and St Pauls Chapel.

Hydrographic details from the early 1960s illustrate the complex coastline of Broad Cove and the tidal flats surrounding Gross Neck and Dutch Neck. Interior water bodies like Pemaquid Pond and Duckpuddle Pond are connected by a network of rural routes, including Back Meadow Road, which link smaller settlements like Sprague Corner and Eugley Corner. The presence of the Johnston Hill Lookout Tower highlights the area's elevation points above the winding Flying Passage.
