About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a deep valley through this landscape, defining the borders between Turner, Leeds, and Livermore. In the late 1960s, the river remains a central axis for the region, dotted with numerous islands like Griswold Island and Ram Island. Along the western banks, the Nezinscot River flows through Turner Center, where a Jr High Sch and a Gaging Sta reflect the community's local infrastructure.

Evidence of the area's industrial past is visible at Keens Mills and the nearby Keens Mills Cem. Transport routes are well-established, with the Maine Central railroad corridor running through Stricklands and North Leeds. The map reveals a mix of upland farming and wooded hills, such as Merrill Hill and Quaker Hill, while the low-lying eastern section near the Dead River shows expansive wetland areas that contrast with the more developed River Road and Fish Street corridors.
