About this map

Monmouth serves as a focal point in this landscape where water and topography dictated early Maine development. The village is positioned alongside Cochnewagon Lake, regulated by the Cochnewagon Dam, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small settlements like Wales Corner, Keenes Corner, and East Wales. The intersection of drainage and transport is evident at Leeds Junction, where the Dead River winds through low-lying terrain.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, including the Leeds Plain Cemetery, Kimball Cemetery, and Moss Cemetery. The map also reveals the rural economic foundations of the area, from the industrial site at Sprague Mill to the Libby Pit and the various family-named hills like Sawyer Hill and Hodgman Hill. This 2011 survey provides a clear look at how the early road networks, such as Sprague Mills Rd and Marrs Point Rd, continue to define the community structure of Androscoggin County.
