1979 Map of North Pownal

About this map

The Androscoggin River defines the northeast corner of this Maine landscape, where the town boundaries of Auburn, Lisbon, and Durham meet at South West Bend. This late-1970s survey captures a rural network of small communities and family-named landmarks connected by the Grand Trunk RR. Notable for its public land and diverse terrain, the area is anchored by Bradbury Mtn State Park and surrounded by prominent heights like Libby Hill and Tryon Mtn. Local history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds such as Old Friends Cem and Cedar Grove Cem, along with the Harmony Grove Ch. The presence of the Pownal Airport and various gravel pits near Alder Brook suggests the small-scale local industries and transportation hubs that supported these interior settlements.
