2014 Map of Quill Hill

About this map

The South Branch Dead River winds through this Franklin County landscape, shaping the development and transportation patterns of the early 21st century. The map illustrates a region defined by its timber and water resources, evidenced by the presence of Langtown Mill and the specific riverside site known as The Landing. Higher elevations such as East Kennebago Mtn and Quill Hill overlook a network of logging and access roads, including the historical echo of the Narrow Gauge Rd. Small, concentrated pockets of activity like Kennebago Settlement are connected by routes such as Stratton Rd and Rangeley Rd, which follow the natural contours of the river valleys. A series of water bodies including Greely Pond, Little Greely Pond, and Dill Pond further characterize this drainage basin, providing essential geographic context for land-use studies in this part of Maine.
