2021 Map of Mousam Lake

About this map

Mousam Lake and Square Pond dominate this York County landscape, where the town of Shapleigh and the community of Ross Corner serve as central hubs for a network of rural roads. The area is defined by a dense concentration of family burial grounds, providing a significant genealogical resource for the region. Names such as the Maturin Abbott Cem, Chick Family Cem, and Deacon Ahira Baker Cem are preserved alongside the terrain of Abbott Mtn and Ross Mtn. In the eastern section, the Middle Branch Mousam River winds southward toward North Alfred, passing under the Clarks Bridge Rd. The landscape's transition from high ridges like Ft Ridge to lowland brooks such as Jones Brook and Conant Brook illustrates the varied topography of this Maine interior.
