About this map

The Saco River and Little Ossipee River anchor this late-nineteenth-century study of York County, revealing a landscape defined by water power and rail connections. The Portland and Rochester Railroad cuts a diagonal path through the southern half of the sheet, connecting settlements like East Waterboro and South Hollis. This era shows the peak of small-scale industrial hydrology, with numerous mill seats such as Nasons Mills, Clarks Mills, Bar Mills, and Goodwins Mills clustered at falls and narrows.
