1997 Map of Rangeley

About this map

The town of Rangeley serves as the hub of this lakeside landscape, positioned where Hatchery Brook enters the northern reaches of Rangeley Lake. This late-twentieth-century study documents the intersection of Maine's recreation and local governance, showing the town's expansion toward Lakeside Park and the Rangeley Municipal Airport. The map highlights the distinct boundaries between Dallas Plantation, Sandy River Plantation, and Rangeley Plantation, reflecting a historical system of land organization unique to Maine. Significant water bodies including Haley Pond, Dodge Pond, and Quimby Pond surround the main settlement, while the southern shore is preserved by Rangeley Lake State Park. Landmarks like Mingo Springs and the local Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of this highland community near the shores of Mooselookmeguntic Lake.
