About this map

Fifteenmile Stream winds through a landscape of wetlands and family-named landmarks in this Kennebec County interior. The small community of East Benton and the outskirts of South Albion anchor the western and southern reaches, connected by a network of rural routes like Winslow Rd and Bessey Ridge Rd. The area is notably defined by its marshlands, including Fowler Bog and Kanokolus Bog, which contrast with the defined heights of Foss Hill and Number Four Hill.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family burial grounds, such as Abbott Cem, Whitaker Cem, and the Quaker Hill Cem. These small cemeteries, alongside crossing points like Gridiron Bridge and Puddledock Bridge, suggest a long-established settlement pattern oriented around the drainages of Mill Stream and Pratt Stream. The map also captures the Kennebec and Waldo County boundary as it cuts through the dense wetlands of the northeast.
