About this map

Sanford and the adjacent industrial village of Springvale serve as the primary hubs of this modern-day topographic study in York County. The Mousam River winds through these centers, historically powering the region's development and connecting the northern waters of Mousam Lake to the various mills that once defined the local economy. The landscape is notably dense with genealogical interest, containing dozens of small burial grounds and family-named cemeteries such as the Bennett Moulton Swett Cemetery and the Tebbets-Jones-Phillips Cemetery, which reflect generations of family farming and land ownership.

Elevated terrain like Hanson Ridge and Bauneg Beg Mountain provides a backdrop to the residential expansion near East Lebanon and Lebanon. The map also traces the drainage patterns of the Great Works River and the Middle Branch Mousam River, along with numerous small kettle ponds like Picture Pond and Round Pond. Landmarks such as the Maine District Court and Saint Ignatius Cemetery highlight the civic and religious centers of these longstanding Maine communities.
