About this map

Frye Mountain State Game Management Area dominates the northern highlands of this Waldo County landscape, where the Lookout Tower sits atop the peak of Frye Mtn. The 1960s terrain is defined by a series of family-named corners and small villages, including Morrill and North Searsmont, connected by a network of secondary roads like Center Montville Road and Hartshorn Road.

Water plays a central role in the local economy and geography, from the headwaters of the Passagassawakeag River to the expansive Quantabacook Lake. The map details numerous small burial grounds such as Hillcrest Cem and Sunny Side Cem, alongside evidence of local industry like the Sand and Gravel Pits near Smiths Millpond. The presence of the Ruffingham Meadow State Game Management Area further illustrates the region's focus on conservation and land management during the mid-20th century.
