1911 Map of Kezar Falls

About this map

The Saco River defines the central axis of this landscape, carving a winding path through the borderlands of Oxford and York counties. At the turn of the century, the region's economy centered on the river and the Maine Central RR, with industry clustered at places like Kezar Falls and Cornish. The surveyor recorded a network of small upland settlements and neighborhood institutions, from the Parsonsfield Seminary in the south to the Haley School in the north.
