About this map

Peabody Pond dominates the central landscape of this western Maine region, surrounded by a complex network of glacial hills and smaller water bodies such as Barker Pond and Browns Pond. The 1983 survey records a transitional period where traditional land uses like the Bridgton Town Farm and numerous sand and gravel pits exist alongside recreational developments like Camp Pondicherry and Camp Winaco.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in small rural clusters including Sebago Center, North Sebago, and South Bridgton. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous family burial grounds, including the Haley Cem, Babb Cem, and Kenison Cem. The drainage of the Northwest River and Muddy River connects these upland communities to the larger waters of Long Lake, illustrating the historic reliance on these waterways for both transport and local industry.
