1982 Map of Waterville

About this map

Waterville and Winslow sit at the confluence of the Kennebec River, Sebasticook River, and Messalonskee Stream, forming a significant Maine industrial and educational corridor in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the tracks of the Maine Central Railroad and the institutional footprints of Colby College on its prominent hill and Thomas College further south near the Waterville Robert Lafleur Airport. In Oakland, the map details the transition from the shores of Messalonskee Lake to the town center, while smaller outlying points like Toulouse Corner and Fairfield Center indicate the rural settlement patterns of Kennebec Co and Somerset Co. Researchers will find a high density of community landmarks, from the Thayer Hospital and Kennebec Valley Vocational Tech Inst to several historic burial grounds including Lakeview Cem and Pine Grove Cem.
