About this map

Sebasticook Lake and the East Branch Sebasticook River anchor this central Maine landscape, where the confluence of several small streams once powered local development. The map reveals a dense network of crossroads settlements and family-named corners such as Goodwin Corner, Hurd Corner, and Miles Corner that define the rural character of the area between Newport and Pittsfield.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of small burial grounds like Village Cem and Stuart Cem, alongside landmarks such as the Pittsfield Municipal Airport. The terrain is marked by distinctive rises like Lang Hill and Libby Hill, which overlook the numerous brooks and ponds that feed into the larger river system, including Whites Pond and Hicks Pond. The infrastructure transitions from these quiet water bodies to the modern transport corridors passing near Dogtown and Houston Corner.
