1961 Map of Washington

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Medomak River and St George River systems define this mid-coast Maine landscape, where the town of Washington sits at a crossroads of early valley settlements. Recorded in the early 1960s with revisions through the 1970s, the map reveals a highly decentralized rural structure marked by numerous family-named junctions such as Lucas Corner, Pease Corner, and Maddocks Corner. The prevalence of small cemeteries, including Pierpont Cem, McDowell Cem, and Fish Cem, offers a detailed spatial record for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in the towns of Liberty and Appleton. Educational and community life is anchored by locations like the Boys Camp near Washington Pond and the Prescott Memorial Sch, while the presence of several Gravel Pits along the riverbanks points to the local extractive economy of the era.
