About this map

The Sandy River winds through the heart of this Franklin County landscape, shaping the development of Strong and South Strong along its banks. This 2011 survey details the transition from the river valley to the surrounding peaks, where the lowland Hartwell Intervale is overlooked by the heights of Hartwell Mountain and Hunter Mountain. The map reveals a high density of water features in the eastern and northern reaches, including the expansive Porter Lake, which is regulated by the Porter Lake Dam, alongside smaller bodies such as Taylor Hill Pond and Gammon Pond.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find the location of the Strong Town Cemetery and numerous family-named roads like Roy Cook Rd and Ransome Leavitt Rd. The drainage network is complex, with Valley Brook, McLeary Brook, and Barker Stream carving through the terrain. The road network connects remote hilltops like True Hill and Leavitt Hill, illustrating the enduring rural settlement patterns of the Maine interior.
