1963 Map of Pleasant Mtn

About this map

Moose Pond dominates the central valley of this Western Maine landscape, carved by the steep slopes of Pleasant Mountain and Black Mtn. The 1963 field check records a region defined by its rural cemeteries and scattered upland settlements like West Bridgton and Liberty Corner. This survey provides significant value for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous family burial grounds including Hio Ridge Cem, Strout Cem, and Deering Cem. The land use of the era is evident in the network of woods roads and trails leading to landmarks like the Lookout Tower atop the mountain. The mapping also reveals the early 1960s state of lakes such as Kezar Pond and Highland Lake, before decades of modern lakeside development altered these shorelines.
