About this map

East Kennebago Mountain dominates the center of this western Maine landscape, dividing the waters of Tim Pond and Kennebago Lake during the early 1930s. The region is defined by its deep woods and network of logging and sporting camps, including Grants on the lake shore and several numbered outposts like Camp No 11 and Camp No 3. Educational and industrial life is visible at the Langtown Mill and small schoolhouses such as Kennebago Sch and Langtown Sch.

Transport through the timberlands relies on the historic Arnold Trail and the Dead River drainage. Smaller settlements like The Landing and Alder Stream Farm provide evidence of early 20th-century habitation within the townships of Alder Stream and Lang. The map details a complex system of ponds and bogs, from Blanchard Ponds to Secret Bog, illustrating the drainage patterns before modern development altered the remote character of Franklin County.
