1956 Map of Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Coastal York County reveals a mid-century landscape of established shorefront colonies and inland crossroads. The Webhannet River and Little River systems dictate the settlement pattern, separating the marshy tidal flats from upland farming and residential areas. Key transit corridors, including the Maine Turnpike and the Boston and Maine Railroad, cut through the terrain, connecting inland points like Wells Branch and Wells Beach Station to the broader Atlantic coast. The map identifies numerous specific family-named locations such as Charles Chase Corner, Coles Hill, and Buffum Hill, providing a granular view of local geography.
