About this map

Pocasset Lake and Androscoggin Lake dominate this mid-1960s landscape, where the town of Wayne serves as a narrow bridge between these expansive water bodies. The terrain is characterized by numerous islands like Androscoggin Island and Lothrop Island, alongside high points such as Mt Pisgah with its Lookout Tower and Morrison Heights.

Settlement patterns follow the water and the Maine Central railroad, which cuts through the southern reaches near Curtis Corner and North Monmouth. Local industry and education are represented by several Gravel Pit sites and the historic Monmouth Academy. The map reveals a transition from the compact village centers of North Wayne to the rural expanses of Bishop Hill, capturing Kennebec County before modern development altered its traditional lakeside and rail-oriented layout.
