About this map

The glacial waters of Kezar Lake dominate this Oxford County landscape, divided into the Upper Bay, Middle Bay, and Lower Bay. Along its shores, mid-century recreational life is evident at Camp Mudjekeewis, Camp Agawam, and the Golf Course near the settlement of Lovell. To the west, the terrain rises into the White Mountain National Forest, where summits like Adams Mtn and Deer Hill overlook a network of seasonal watercourses and cemeteries that mark the area's early farmsteads, including the Fox Cem, Lord Cem, and Smith Cem.

The southern portion of the map follows the winding Old Course Saco River through the lowlands of Fryeburg Harbor. This area reveals a transition from the wooded heights of Harndon Hill and Creeper Hill to the fertile intervales and meadows. Small village centers at North Lovell and Center Lovell serve as the primary hubs, connected by roads that skirt the numerous ponds like Horseshoe Pond and Farrington Pond, illustrating the late-stage development of this classic New England lake district.
