1943 Map of Sebago Lake

About this map

Sebago Lake and the surrounding Cumberland County townships appear here during the early 1940s, characterized by a complex network of waterways and early vacation infrastructure. The historic Songo Lock connects Brandy Pond and the Songo River, facilitating passage through the region's connected basins. On the southern shore, the Maine Central Railroad serves the corridor near Steep Falls and East Baldwin Mattocks Sta, while local educational landmarks like Potter Academy and Hawthorne Sch anchor the small inland settlements. The map highlights the early development of Sebago Lake State Park at the mouth of the Songo, alongside several prominent peaks including Douglas Mtn and Bald Pate Mtn. This survey captures the area just as it was becoming a premier destination, balancing active rail commerce with established rural schools and cemeteries like Friendship Cem.
