About this map

Quantabacook Lake and the winding Passagassawakeag River define the hydrography of this mid-century Waldo County landscape. The settlement pattern is dominated by rural crossroads and small villages, notably Morrill, which serves as a central hub with its Smiths Millpond and local sand pits. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource for locating family burial grounds such as Hillcrest Cem near North Searsmont and Sunny Side Cem tucked within the Frye Mountain State Game Management Area.

Conservation and recreation are prominent features of the terrain, with large tracts dedicated to the Ruffingham Meadow State Game Management Area and the high point at Frye Mtn, topped by a Lookout Tower. Historical schoolhouses, including the East Knox Sch, and the network of named roads like Center Montville Road and Higgins Ridge Road provide a detailed look at the local infrastructure before modern developments changed the character of these Maine townships.
