1957 Map of Wiscasset

About this map

The Sheepscot River and Kennebec River systems dominate this mid-century view of Lincoln County, where the tidal landscape transitions from coastal flats to the forested hills of the interior. Settlements like Dresden Mills, Whitefield, and Head Tide serve as focal points for a rural economy anchored by small-scale farming and timber. The map preserves the locations of numerous historic schoolhouses, including Telegraph Hill Sch and Caston Sch, alongside a dense network of family cemeteries like Quinnam Cem and Peaslee Cem that speak to the deep ancestral roots of the region.
