About this map

East Kennebago Mountain dominates this mid-1930s landscape of Franklin County, where the economy was defined by timber camps and remote mills. Surveyed in 1932, the map shows a network of logging sites including Camp No 11, Camp No 10, and Camp No 3 scattered across the township lines of Seven Ponds and Alder Stream. Industrial activity is centered around Langtown Mill and The Landing near the Dead River, while small pockets of community are evident at Kennebago Sch and Langtown Sch.

The presence of the Arnold Trail in the northeast corner serves as a reminder of earlier traversals through these high elevations. Water bodies such as Kennebago Lake with its Skedaddle Cove, Tim Pond, and Loon Lake are surrounded by prominent peaks like Boil Mtn and Spotted Mountain. The map also captures several isolated agrarian and residential spots like Grants and Green Farm, providing a look at the scattered settlement pattern before mid-century shifts.
