1961 Map of Washington

About this map

Appleton Ridge dominates the eastern landscape of this survey, dividing the drainage between the St George River and Pettengill Stream. The rural network of the early 1960s is defined by numerous crossroads settlements such as Burkettville, West Appleton, and South Liberty, reflecting a localized economy tied to the land. This era captures the transition of the Maine interior, where family heritage is anchored by dispersed burial grounds like Hannon Cem and Miller Cem.
