About this map

Great East Pond and the New Hampshire Maine Boundary Line define the western reaches of this late 19th-century survey. The landscape is dominated by a series of distinct peaks such as Randall Mountain and Hosac Mountain, which hem in a network of ponds and glacial water bodies. Settlements like Limerick, Newfield, and Parsonsfield appear as established rural hubs connected by a dense web of carriage roads before the arrival of modern highways.

Industrial activity is evident at Ossipee Mills and Milton Mills, where the Little Ossipee River and Salmon Falls River provided the necessary power for early manufacturing. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific locale names, from Ross Corner to Maplewood, alongside numerous small ponds like Poverty Pond and Sky Beaver Pond that shaped the agricultural and social boundaries of York County families during this era.
