1896 Map of Sebago

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Sebago Lake dominates this late-nineteenth-century landscape, serving as a vital nexus for both recreation and transport in Cumberland County. A designated Steamboat Route traces a path through the open water, connecting the large lake to Long Lake via the Songo River. The infrastructure of the era is remarkably preserved, showing the precise operation of the Songo Lock and the path of the Maine Central R. R. (White Mountains Line) as it skirts the southern reaches through Richville and Steep Falls. Settled communities like Naples, South Casco, and East Sebago appear as clusters of activity along the shorelines, while the interior is defined by named peaks such as Peaked Hills and Douglas Hill. This survey highlights a transitional period where river-based industry at sites like Perley Mills coexisted with the growing role of the lakes as regional travel corridors.
