About this map

The Saco River carves a deep path through the borderlands of Cumberland and York counties, defining the character of this Southern Maine landscape. Settlements like North Baldwin and East Baldwin are scattered among a series of significant elevations, including Douglas Mtn and the Saddleback Hills. The region's early industrial roots are visible near Woods Millpond and Fitch Mill Pond, while its later aviation history is marked by the Limington-Harmon Airport.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as the Lord-Cousins Cem, Cyrus Brown Cem, and the Whitten - Field Cem. The mapping of local landmarks like Mattocks Station and Goulds Island provides a clear view of how transportation and the river shaped the growth of Steep Falls. Small ponds and brooks, from Sand Pond to Strout Brook, indicate a well-watered territory that supported centuries of rural habitation.
