A PLAN OF THE TOWN OF SEARSMONT. This map is a photocopy of the second copy of the original map. The Original was drawn by Noah Prescott on 20 May, 1827. It was first copied by Hiram P. Farrow, Land Surveyor of Belmont in March, 1880, and the second copy was drafted by Hiram Farrow, Civil Engineer, in 1930.
The 1930 copy was one of a set of Waldo County maps drafted for the county. They were bound in what is called "The Red Book." This Searsmont map is number 18 in that book of plans. It and the others in the series are bordered by a stylized "Gunter's Chain" - the traditional surveyor's chain.Collection
