1957 Map of Saponac

About this map

Passadumkeag Mountain dominates the central landscape of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a complex network of waterways including Saponac Pond and the Passadumkeag River. The area shows a distribution of small settlements such as Burlington, Lowell, and Greenfield, each with its own local infrastructure. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Mt Repose Cem and the numbered Number One Cem and Number Two Cem sites. The timber and water-driven economy of the region is evidenced by the presence of the Thirty-Nine Tannery and various Gravel Pits. Water navigation and measurement are key themes, shown by features like the Lowell Gaging Sta and river hazards such as White Horse Rips and Pond Rips. Educational history is preserved through the locations of the Corner Sch and School No 1.
