1942 Map of Gray

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Sabbathday Lake and the Royal River system anchor this detailed topographic study of the Cumberland County interior. The landscape is defined by its post-glacial features, such as the The Sinkhole and the varied waters of Little Sebago Lake and Panther Pond. Settlement patterns here reflect the mid-century transition from agrarian life to the burgeoning crossroads of Gray, where multiple state routes converge. Long-standing local institutions are evident through labels like Pownal State School, Ireland Sch, and the Friends Ch. The infrastructure of the Maine Central and Canadian National railroads, along with stations at New Gloucester and Cumberland Center, highlights the region's historical role as a transportation corridor connecting the interior to the coast. Smaller hamlets like Suckerville, Dry Mills, and Intervale offer a glimpse into the localized identities that once thrived alongside these primary transit lines.
