Survey of TURNPIKE OVER MEGUNTICOOK MOUNTAIN 1801Entry/Object ID
WHC 2022.16Scope and Content
TURNPIKE OVER MEGUNTICOOK MOUNTAIN from Camden, Me., to Bailey's Brook, Me. Color photocopy, full size of original, which is in Mass. Archives, Maps & Plans No. 2495. This map is a survey taken 22 December 1801, with "Bailey Brook or Spring Brook" at one end and "Canaan Line" at the other. Landmarks along the way are "Pond", "Mountain Betty", and "Smelt Brook". There is no north arrow, but the landmarks show that the title (which is on the backing paper and not on the original paper) is INACCURATE. It is written by another hand than that of the survey and appears upside down at the north end of the map. It is clear that the title was added by someone unfamiliar with the area. The route surveyed does not go over Megunticook Mountain and instead appears to align with Route 52. It may be part of a survey of the Turnpike built by Daniel Barrett starting in 1802.
