About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines this capital region, where the industrial and civic heritage of Augusta meets the historic riverfronts of Hallowell and Farmingdale. The map captures a dense network of institutional and commemorative sites, from the State of Maine Burying Ground near the river to the expansive Maine Veterans Memorial Cem further inland. The transition from the urban core to the western lakes is marked by landmarks like the Augusta State Airport and the campus of the Univ of Maine At Augusta.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial grounds, including the Old Saint Marys Cem and Riverside Cem. Significant elevation changes are noted at Howard Hill and Granite Hill, overlooking the Kennebec River Reservoir and smaller water bodies such as Cobbosseecontee Lake and Jimmie Pond. This survey details the modern infrastructure of state government and regional transport alongside established neighborhoods and traditional river landmarks like Britts Shoal.
