1960 Map of Morrill

About this map

Quantabacook Lake anchors the southern landscape of this Waldo County survey, a prominent water body dotted with Sheep Island and Wood Island. The rural economy of the early 1960s is visible in the network of ridge-top roads and scattered gravel operations, such as the Sand and Gravel Pits near North Searsmont. Evidence of the region’s earlier industrial and social roots remains through landmarks like Smiths Millpond and the East Knox School. Large tracts of land are dedicated to conservation, including the Frye Mountain State Game Management Area, which features a Lookout Tower atop Frye Mountain. Genealogists will find numerous family-named locations such as Pauls Corner, Levetts Corner, and Philbricks Corner, alongside quiet burial grounds like Hillcrest Cemetery and Green Wood Cemetery.
