This is an 1874 E.F. Sanford and C.T. Leggett city plan or map of Farmington, Maine. Created by soliciting subscriptions from the town's businesspeople and residents, the map depicts from the Willows Female Seminary to S. Norton's house south of the cemetery on Main Street and from the railroad shops in West Farmington to the slate quarries east of town. Houses throughout town are illustrated and identified by the owner's name and the lots are delineated. Schools (including the State Normal School), churches, and offices are labeled throughout town as well. Other illustrated locations around town include the railroad depot (serviced by the Androscoggin Division of the Maine Central Railroad), the sweet corn factory, the brick yard, the cattle yards, S.R. Leland's Apple Orchard, and the H.R. Butterfield shovel handle factory. References for thirty-five numerically identified locations along Main Street and Broadway in Farmington occupy a space in the upper left quadrant. A directory for West Farmington appears along the left border. A view of the Willows Female Seminary occupies the upper left corner. A series of four views along the bottom border highlight different scenes associated with the Abbott Family School for Boys. (more details)
