About this map

The Kennebec River serves as the central artery of this region, separating Fairfield from Benton and defining the industrial and transportation patterns of the early 1980s. The Maine Central RR runs parallel to the river's western bank, passing through the heart of Fairfield near Lawrence High Sch Ath Fld and Fairfield Park. The map documents a landscape where traditional small-town centers like Benton Station and Shawmut are connected by a network of rural routes such as Albion Road and Gogan Road.

To the east, the Sebasticook River winds toward Benton Falls, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the waters of Pattee Pond and Winslow Pond. This area contains several family-named landmarks and historical sites, including Maplewood Cem, Holt Cem, and Camp Caribou. The transition from the developed riverfront in Waterville and Winslow to the more open terrain of Albion highlights the area's mix of residential settlement and sprawling woodland.
