1943 Map of Sebago Lake

About this map

The Crooked River and Songo Lock define the interior waterways of this 1940s landscape, connecting the expansive waters of Long Lake to the northern reaches of Sebago Lake. This survey captures the region's mid-century transition, where established lakeside settlements like Naples and South Casco sit alongside the dense forest and granite peaks of Saddleback Mountain and Douglas Mtn. The Maine Central Railroad cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, serving industry and travel at Steep Falls and Mattoeks Sta. Educational and community centers such as Potter Academy in Sebago and several rural schoolhouses, including the Larrabee Sch and Hawthorne Sch, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local family footprints. The map also documents the early footprint of Sebago Lake State Park, established just years prior to this survey.
