1896 Map of Sebago

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

Sebago Lake dominates this inland Maine landscape, serving as a primary corridor for commerce and travel at the turn of the century. The established Steamboat Route traces a path through the open water, connecting to Long Lake via the Songo River and its critical Songo Lock. This waterway system was essential for moving timber and goods between the lakeside villages. On the western shores, rugged terrain is marked by family-named landmarks such as Douglas Hill and Webb Rowe Hill, while the Saco River defines the southern boundary near the settlement of Steep Falls. Small communities like Naples and South Casco anchor the shoreline, reflecting a pre-automotive era where water and rail were the lifeblood of Cumberland and York counties.
