1983 Map of Great East Lake

About this map

Great East Lake anchors this borderland landscape, where the state line between Maine and New Hampshire carves through the center of several large water bodies. The terrain is a mix of dense glacial ponds and prominent ridges like Acton Ridge and Hubbard Ridge, reflecting the complex topography of York Co and Carroll Co counties. Local life in the early 1980s is centered around small settlements such as North Shapleigh and South Acton, with the Salmon Falls River serving as a historic boundary and drainage route south toward Milton Mills.
