About this map

Limerick and Newfield serve as the primary hubs in this York County landscape, where the Little Ossipee River dictates the settlement pattern and industrial history of the late 20th century. The waterway supported localized centers like Limerick Mills and Ossipee Mills, reflecting a traditional New England reliance on river power. Rural corners such as East Parsonsfield, Emerys Corner, and Felch Corner are connected by a network of winding roads, while local genealogy is anchored by Highland Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem.

The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Philpot Mtn, Towle Mtn, and Watson Mtn, which frame numerous glacial water bodies like Sokokis Lake and Randall Lake. To the south, the Newfield Wildlife Management Area preserves a significant portion of the wooded environment, contrasting with the residential developments near Lake Arrowhead. This survey documents a quiet interior Maine region where agriculture and recreation meet the forested hills of the Ossipee watershed.
