About this map

Pleasant Lake and the serpentine course of the Crooked River define the local geography of this central Maine region. The landscape is dotted with small, long-established hamlets like Bolsters Mills, Rayville, and Spurrs Corner, each serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural roads. Industrial history is evident along the water, from the Rayville Dam to the site of Scribners Mill, reflecting a time when local waterways powered the timber and milling economy.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, including Oak Hill Cemetery, Lakeside Cemetery, and the Cedar Crest Cemetery near Sylvester Ridge. The map also captures the recreational character of the lakefronts, identifying several summer camps such as Camp Powhatan and Hoop Camp. From the heights of Mayberry Hill to the marshes of Molly Gut, the map provides a clear record of the area's transition from early milling settlements to a modern landscape of conservation and seasonal residences.
