Sorry, other posters. The Poland Spring Water sold under that name today has virtually nothing to do with the original water from the actual spring shown on the map, except for the name.
In my youth, 65 years ago or more, I drank the real stuff from the real spring, which is in the woods below the gold course - and formerly below the Poland Spring House also. I still have two "Moses bottles," which were decorative containers of the water. The hotel burned down in 1975.
I spent seven summers at Poland Spring as a child, when my father had the hotel orchestra there. My older brother and I would often walk down to the spring house to see the water gurgling out of the actual spring.
