About this map

The Saco River serves as a natural boundary in this region of York County, winding south past West Buxton and Bonny Eagle. The landscape is defined by its water bodies, including Watchic Pond with its cluster of islands like Blueberry Island and Treasure Island, and the quiet expanse of Bonny Eagle Pond to the east. The settlement pattern follows historical crossroads and mill sites, such as Shaw Mills and Kimbles Corner, connected by established routes like the Pequawket Trl.

Genealogists will find this area particularly detailed, as numerous small family and community burial grounds are meticulously documented. From the Old Dow's Corner Cem near Dow Corner to the Meeting House Hill Cem further south, these sites reflect the deep-rooted local history of towns like Standish and Buxton Center. The transition from the more developed Groveville area to the wooded rises of Oak Hill and Breakheart Hill illustrates the varied character of the southern Maine interior.
