1891 Map of Newfield

About this map

Limerick and the surrounding hill country of York County appear in this late nineteenth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by small village centers and a complex network of glacial ponds. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the Little Ossipee River, with industrial nodes like Ossipee Mills and Milton Mills situated along the watercourses. The rugged geography is anchored by prominent heights such as Cedar Mountain and Randall Mountain, which overlook a series of substantial water bodies including Great East Pond and Balch Pond along the New Hampshire Maine Boundary Line. Small hamlets like Hollandville and Maplewood are interconnected by early roads, while isolated post offices and neighborhood clusters such as Ross Corner and South Parsonsfield suggest the decentralized rural life of the era. The presence of numerous named ponds, including Shy Beaver Pond and Poverty Pond, highlights the region's dense hydrologic character before modern development reshaped the lakefronts.
