About this map

The town of Wayne serves as a central hub on this mid-1960s survey, situated on the narrow isthmus between Pocasset Lake and the expansive Androscoggin Lake. The region’s geography is defined by its deep connectivity between water and rail, with the Maine Central corridor skirting the southern edge through North Monmouth. This transportation network supported local industry and education, evidenced by the presence of Monmouth Academy and several gravel pits scattered throughout the landscape.

Elevations rise sharply at Mt Pisgah, where a Lookout Tower provides a vantage point over the complex system of ponds including Dexter Pond and Berry Pond. The map captures the rural character of Kennebec and Androscoggin Counties, showing a mix of established villages like North Wayne and small crossroads such as Curtis Corner. Numerous islands, including Androscoggin Island, Norris Island, and Lothrop Island, dot the larger lakes, illustrating the varied shoreline that has long shaped the local community.
