1955 Map of West Rockport

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Alford Lake and the surrounding mid-coast highlands dominate this mid-century landscape in Knox County. The area is defined by a dense network of freshwater bodies including Hobbs Pond, Lermond Pond, and Mirror Lake, which supported early industrial activity like that found at Wattons Mill. Small rural settlements such as South Hope, East Union, and West Rockport anchor the crossroads, while family-named peaks like Gurney Hill, Ragged Mtn, and Dodge Mtn provide significant topographic relief. Local history is preserved in small enclaves like Mank and Kallock, and the presence of Goulds Hospital indicates the infrastructure of the era. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the meandering paths of the St George River and the Oyster River, alongside the marshy expanse known as The Bog.
