About this map

Long Lake and Highland Lake dominate this Cumberland County landscape, where the primary settlement of Bridgton sits at the head of Woods Pond. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-south ridges, such as Upper Ridge and Lower Ridge, which hem in the narrow valleys and water bodies. This area has long been a destination for outdoor recreation and summer camps, evidenced by the numerous lakeside facilities including Camp Ticawa, Camp Wildwood, and Camp Beaumont.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the hills, from the Finnish Cem and Keen Cem in the north to the Lewis Cem in the east. The map also reveals localized landmarks like the Maple Ridge Sch and Maple Ridge Airport, indicating the early 21st-century infrastructure of the Harrison and Bridgton borderlands. Significant water features like Sams Mill Pond and Crystal Lake further define the intricate hydrography of the region.
