1896 Map of Sebago

USGS Topo · Published 1911

About this map

Sebago Lake dominates this southern Maine landscape, serving as a hub for late 19th-century water transit. A marked Steamboat Route tracks across the water, connecting the lake through the Songo River and Songo Lock to Long Lake in the north. This intricate network of waterways was essential for moving goods and people before the full expansion of overland routes. Along the southern edge, the Maine Central R. R. (White Mountains Line) follows the course of the Saco River, passing through the settlement at Steep Falls. Small villages and milling sites like Cooks Mills, Edes Falls, and North Baldwin are scattered throughout the hills. High points such as Bald Pate and Douglas Hill overlook numerous smaller bodies of water, including Peabody Pond and Hancock Pond, illustrating the glacial geography of the Cumberland and York county borderlands.
