About this map

The village of Alfred serves as a central hub on this 1980s landscape, positioned near the Littlefield River and the local York County Jail. The map reflects a blend of early industrial sites and mid-century infrastructure, with the Sanford and Eastern Railroad cutting through the western portion and the Sanford Municipal Airport occupying a significant footprint to the south. In the eastern sector, the Massabesic Experimental Forest dominates the terrain, showcasing managed timberland between Lyman and Sanford.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with Shaker Pond and Bunganut Pond to the north feeding into systems that eventually reach Estes Lake. Historical industry is evidenced by labels for Alfred Mills and Spang Mills, while local genealogy is supported by the locations of Evergreen Cem and the Lyman Sch. The settlement pattern follows the Mousam River corridor, connecting South Sanford with the rural highlands of Yeaton Hill and Brackett Hill.
