1966 Map of Wayne

About this map

The intricate glacial landscape of central Maine is defined here by a chain of interconnected waterways, where Pocasset Lake and Androscoggin Lake meet at the village of Wayne. This mid-century survey documents a region where water dictated the layout of settlements and industry, from the cluster of buildings at North Wayne to the southern hub of North Monmouth. The Maine Central line cuts through the southern terrain, connecting rural outposts like Curtis Corner to the wider rail network. High ground like Morrison Heights and the summit of Mt Pisgah, topped with a Lookout Tower, provides a vertical contrast to the sprawling marshlands of Bog Brook. Educational and civic life is anchored by landmarks such as Monmouth Academy, while numerous islands including Androscoggin Island and Lothrop Island dot the lake surfaces, preserving the character of the Kennebec and Androscoggin county borderlands.
