About this map

Pleasant Mountain dominates this mid-century landscape, bisecting the region between the Oxford and Cumberland County line. The terrain is characterized by high peaks and narrow valleys, where small settlements like West Bridgton and East Fryeburg anchor the local road network. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the high density of family and neighborhood burial grounds, including the McLucas Cem, Douglass Cem, and Ingalls Hill Cem.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the elongated Moose Pond stretching through the center of the sheet and Highland Lake bordering the eastern edge. Leisure and utility are both present, noted by the Ski Lifts on the slopes of the mountain and the Lookout Tower at its summit. Rare natural features like the Shaking Bog near Liberty Corner provide a glimpse into the diverse wetland environments preserved alongside the region's active Gravel Pit and Quarry operations.
