About this map

The Androscoggin River defines the northeast corner of this 1979 survey, where the settlement of South West Bend sits near the border of Lisbon and Durham. The landscape is a network of small watersheds including Meadow Brook, Libby Brook, and Gerrish Brook, punctuated by prominent heights such as McKenney Hill and Tryon Mtn. Central to the area is Bradbury Mtn State Park, located just south of North Pownal.

Transportation patterns reflect the era's infrastructure, with the Canadian National railroad cutting through the western section near West Pownal and Foggs Corner. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are documented, including Maplewood Cem, Elmwood Cem, and the Old Friends Cem. The map also captures the local aviation and utility footprint via the Pownal Airport, a Substation, and a Radio Tower located near Runaround Pond.
