About this map

Strong serves as the primary settlement center on this map, positioned at the confluence of the Sandy River and Valley Brook. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies and significant topographical relief, ranging from the low-lying Hartwell Intervale to peaks like Allen Pinnacle, Hartwell Mtn, and Stubbs Mtn. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by Porter Lake, which features a Boat Ramp for access, and is flanked by the small village of New Vineyard.

Resource extraction and local industry are evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit near New Vineyard and a Mill Pond along Lemon Str. This late-twentieth-century survey documents a traditional Maine interior landscape where rural residences are dispersed along the major stream valleys of McLeary Brook and True Hill Brook. A small Cem near the New Portland boundary and the southern cluster at South Strong provide specific points of interest for genealogical research into Franklin County families.
