2018 Map of Strong

About this map

Strong and South Strong anchor this Maine landscape, situated where the Sandy River winds through the valley between Hunter Mtn and Dyer Hill. The area is notably dense with small family and village burial grounds, such as the Strong Village Cem, Cunningham Cates Cem, and Peabody Corner Cem, offering significant data for genealogical research. The geography transitions from the fertile Hartwell Intervale to the high elevations of Pratt Mtn and Stubbs Mtn. Large water bodies like Porter Lake and Taylor Hill Pond dominate the eastern half of the map, while numerous brooks, including Valley Brook and McLeary Brook, drain the surrounding ridges. This survey illustrates the persistence of rural settlement patterns, with homesteads clustered along roads like Church Hill Rd and Taylor Hill Rd amidst a landscape of timber and topography.
