1896 Map of Sebago

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Sebago Lake dominates the center of this Maine landscape, serving as a critical nexus for transportation and recreation in the late nineteenth century. The presence of a marked Steamboat Route crossing from the main lake through the Songo River to Long Lake highlights the era's reliance on waterborne travel before the full dominance of the automobile. The Songo Lock remains a focal point for navigation between these major bodies of water, while the Maine Central R. R. skirts the southern edge of the sheet, connecting settlements like Steep Falls and Richville. Small villages such as Naples, South Casco, and North Sebago are shown in their historic configurations, surrounded by numerous ponds and family-named elevations like Douglas Hill and Webb Rowe Hill. The map also captures the intricate network of brooks and rivers, including the Crooked River and Muddy River, which fed the region's early industries and timber operations.
