1904 Map of Anson

About this map

The Kennebec River serves as the central artery for this early twentieth-century survey of Somerset County, Maine. The river’s course is punctuated by significant landmarks including Carritunk Falls near Solon and a series of named islands such as Burns I. and Weston I. that sit between the developing twin industrial centers of Anson and Madison. The confluence with the Carrabassett River at North Anson highlights the strategic water network that once drove local timber and milling economies.
