About this map

Steep Falls and the surrounding riverlands of Baldwin are captured here as they appeared in the early 1980s. The Saco River serves as a natural boundary between Cumberland and York counties, winding past Goulds Island and the local airstrip at Limington-Harmon Airport. The landscape is dotted with family-named burial grounds like Rounds Cem, Sawyer Cem, and Wentworth Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogy of the region.

Upland areas are defined by the Saddleback Hills and prominent peaks like Douglas Mtn and Bald Mtn. To the northeast, the shoreline of Sebago Lake at East Sebago and Long Beach shows the established recreational and residential character of the waterfront. Rural life is further evidenced by landmarks such as the Baldwin Consolidated Sch and the curious intersection at Ruin Corner, while large tracts of land are preserved within the Steep Falls Wildlife Management Area.
