About this map

Sebago Lake dominates this Cumberland County landscape, showing the transition from recreational shoreline to interior wetlands and woodlands in the early 1980s. The settlement at Sebago Lake serves as a focal point at the southern end of Lower Bay, while the smaller community of Richville sits further inland near the head of Rich Millpond. The rugged local geography is defined by prominent elevations like Oak Hill and Rich Hill, with the Maine Central railroad corridor cutting through the town of Standish.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several traditional landmarks, including Friendship Cem and the Oak Hill Chapel. The map reveals an area balanced between conservation and industry, with the Steep Falls Wildlife Management Area protecting western acreage while multiple Gravel Pits and a Sand Pit suggest active resource extraction. Water features like the Sticky River and Little Watchic Pond weave through the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex drainage system feeding the region's larger basins.
