2014 Map of Casco

About this map

The Crooked River snakes through the landscape, forming the natural boundary between Cumberland and Oxford Counties. This 2014 survey documents the enduring layout of rural settlements such as Bolsters Mills, Rayville, and Casco. The mapping detail captures the historical footprint of the area's timber and water-powered industries, most notably at Scribners Mill and Merrow Landing. Numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries provide critical touchpoints for local heritage, including Scribner Hill, Sylvester Ridge, and the Hoyt Edwards Family Cem. To the east, the shoreline of Thompson Lake and the waters of Pleasant Lake define the region's topography. The map illustrates how local routes like Bolsters Mills Rd and Otisfield Cove Rd connect these established communities across the ridges of Porcupine Mountain and Greeley Hill.
