1970 Map of Westport

About this map

Sheepscot River and the Back River define the intricate island geography of this coastal Maine landscape. The map centers on the elongated body of Westport island, separated from the mainland by Montsweag Bay and the deep channels of the Sasanoa River. The 1970 field check captures the area just as a major Powerplant was established on the western shore of the Sheepscot, contrasting with the long-standing agricultural and maritime character of the region.
