1955 Map of West Rockport

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Alford Lake and Crawford Pond dominate the western edge of this mid-century coastal interior landscape, where the towns of Union, Hope, and Rockport meet. The settlement pattern follows narrow valleys between prominent peaks like Ragged Mtn and Bald Mtn, with small crossroads communities such as South Hope and East Union serving as local hubs. This 1955 field-checked survey reveals an era before significant suburban expansion, where local industry is still tethered to the water, evidenced by Wattons Mill on Quiggle Brook and the presence of numerous Borrow Pits near West Rockport. The intricate drainage system of the St George River and the West Branch Oyster River shapes the southern reaches of the quadrangle, while the Rockland City Bdy clips the eastern edge near Hosmer Pond.
