About this map

Sanford and the industrial village of Springvale serve as the focal points of this York County landscape, where the Mousam River corridor historically powered the region's development. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of lineage-rich landmarks, including the Saint Ignatius Cem and Notre Dame Cem, reflecting the area's cultural heritage. To the northwest, Emery Mills sits near the shores of Mousam Lake, while the southern reaches are marked by the prominent rise of Bauneg Beg Mountain.

The map reveals an intricate network of water bodies such as Number One Pond and Stump Pond, interspersed with numerous family cemeteries like the Tebbets Phillips Cem and Bennett Moulton Sweat Cem. This pattern of small, scattered burial grounds alongside established settlements like East Lebanon and Lebanon indicates a long history of family-based land ownership and local community structure. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of the Great Works River to the high ground of Hanson Ridge, illustrating the varied topography of southern Maine.
