About this map

Fayette Corner and North Fayette anchor this mid-1960s survey of the lake-studded landscape on the border of Kennebec and Androscoggin counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including the expansive Echo Lake, David Pond, and Pocasset Lake. This era shows a transition in land use, where traditional agricultural and milling sites like Richmond Mill exist alongside recreational developments such as Camp Winnebago and the East Livermore Campgrounds.

Researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks and small crossroads settlements such as Twelve Corners and Sanderson Corners. The map provides specific locations for local heritage sites like the Kent Cem near Kents Hill. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Landing Strip near West Mount Vernon indicates the local industrial and logistical activity of the period, while the complex chain of islands in Parker Pond highlights the intricate shoreline of the Maine interior.
