About this map

The Saco River anchors this Maine landscape, flowing through a series of mill-related settlements including Bar Mills, Salmon Falls, and Union Falls. These riverside communities reflect the historic industrial water-power development of York County, where the river's descent provided the energy for local commerce. Farther south, Goodwins Mills stands as another significant cluster of activity, characterized by a concentration of cemeteries like the Goodwins Mills Cem and the Community Cemetary.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the numerous family lots noted across the terrain, such as the Dennett Lot, Dunn Lot, and Bradbury Lot, which point to early land ownership and family tracts. The map also documents the transition from early river-based industry to more modern infrastructure, including the presence of Greaton Airfield and a network of named country roads such as the Narragansett Trl and Hollis Rd.
