About this map

Limerick serves as the central hub of this York County landscape, where the town center is framed by Highland Cem and the industrial history of Limerick Mills. The drainage of the Little Ossipee River dictates the settlement patterns, as seen in the clustered riverside developments of Newfield and Ossipee Mills. This 1980s field check records a region defined by its water resources, from the large expanse of Lake Arrowhead to the smaller, more secluded Sokokis Lake and Silver Lake.

The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Sawyer Mtn and Watson Mtn, which separate the various townships of Cornish, Parsonsfield, and Shapleigh. Land use varies from the conserved grounds of the Newfield Wildlife Management Area to local infrastructure like the Substation and various Sand & Gravel Pits. Smaller hamlets like East Parsonsfield and crossroads such as Felch Corner and Emerys Corner provide specific points of interest for those researching ancestral property or local development in rural Maine.
