Sandy River, Maine
This valuable mill stream receives its head waters in the county of Franklin, near Saddleback mountain, and in a winding course through the southern part of that county it enters Somerset county and mingles with the Kennebec at Starks, 37 miles above Augusta. Sandy river is a ferilizing stream: it receives a number of tributaries, and waters a beautiful portion of the state. Its length is about 45 miles.
