1911 Map of Fryeburg

About this map

Kezar Lake dominates the central landscape of this Western Maine region, stretching its waters through the The Narrows into distinctive bays. To the south, the village of Fryeburg serves as a hub for the Maine Central RR, with the White Mountains Line cutting through the river plains. The terrain is a complex of family-named heights like Styles Mtn and Amos Mtn, interspersed with small rural schoolhouses such as the Menotomy School and Union Hill School that once anchored these remote communities. A commemorative Battle Monument sits near the winding banks of the Saco River, marking a site of historical conflict. The map also captures the early 20th-century character of scattered settlements like Slab City and Lynchville, revealing a landscape shaped by logging, seasonal camps like Browns Camp, and the intricate drainage of the Kezar River and Sucker Brook.
