About this map

The Androscoggin River winds through this landscape, serving as a natural boundary between the townships of Lisbon, Durham, and Topsham. Along its banks, industrial and community hubs like Lisbon Falls and Pejepscot are clearly defined, while the interior terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and rural settlements such as Crossman Corner and Shiloh. The region's agricultural and industrial heritage is evident through features like Plummer Mill on Newell Brook and numerous gravel pits scattered across the hills.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through a high density of small burial grounds, including the Gerrish Cem, Sawyer Cem, and Lunt Memorial Cem. The transportation network of the late 1970s is anchored by the Maine Central railroad and a grid of rural thoroughfares like Quaker Meetinghouse Road and Lunt Road, reflecting a landscape transitioning from traditional mill-and-farm economy to modern residential patterns near Brunswick and Freeport.
