1995 Map of Great East Lake

About this map

The Salmon Falls River and the Little Ossipee River drain a complex landscape of glacial lakes and ridges along the New Hampshire and Maine border. This mid-1990s survey highlights the rural character of the region, where small settlements like Milton Mills and North Shapleigh serve as local hubs connected by winding routes like Perkins Hill Road and Jug Hill Road. The area is defined by its extensive water bodies, including the massive Great East Lake and Square Pond, which are punctuated by landmarks like Shepherd Island and the heights of Gile Mtn. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through scattered gravel pits, the Mellon Airport near Acton, and the Maple Grove Ch in the south. The map captures a transition where the border between Carroll and York counties meets the winding river valleys.
