About this map

Albion and its surrounding rural townships are defined by a complex network of wetlands and small waterways in the early 1980s. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of Fifteenmile Stream and the expansive Lovejoy Pond, which features a Boat Ramp on its northern shore. The village of Albion serves as a central hub, containing the Besse Sch, while the outlying areas like South Albion and East Benton maintain a dispersed agricultural character.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and resting places, including Whitaker Cem, Abbott Cem, and the Quaker Hill Cem near the boundary with Freedom. The map also captures local community centers such as Puddledock Hall and the nearby Puddledock Bridge. Terrain features like Foss Hill and Baker Hill rise above the marshy lowlands of Fowler Bog, illustrating the classic interior Maine topography of glacial hills and drainage basins.
