About this map

Mousam Lake and its intricate northern tributaries define this region of York County, where recreation and local community centers are closely tied to the water. The landscape is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, including Square Pond, Round Pond, and the Little Ossipee River, which winds through the northern portion of the map near Sprague City. These water features are complemented by significant elevations like Abbott Mountain and Hussey Mountain, creating a varied topography.

Settlement patterns in the early 21st century center on established hubs like Shapleigh and Ross Corner, connected by a network of rural routes such as Newfield Rd and Ross Corner Rd. The southern reach of the map features the Acton Fairgrounds, a notable cultural landmark. The presence of the Pine Springs Lake Dam and the Walnut Grove Campground illustrates the long-standing importance of this area for seasonal tourism and water management in southwestern Maine.
