2024 Map of Bath

About this map

Bath occupies a complex coastal landscape defined by the tidal reaches of the Kennebec and surrounding waters. The settlement pattern follows the intricate shorelines of The Chops Passage and The Narrows, where the terrestrial and maritime worlds collide. This modern survey details the urban core of Bath alongside historical hamlets like Days Ferry and Woolwich, revealing how the local economy remains tied to the water. Significant genealogical resources are documented throughout the quadrangle, from the centrally located Dummer Street Cem and Oak Grove Cem to more secluded burial grounds like Laurel Grove Cem near Nequasset Lake. The map illustrates the region's administrative importance as the seat of the Sagadahoc County Superior Court, while tracing the fingers of land and islands like Lines Island and Thorne Island that dictate the area's navigational history.
