About this map

The maritime heritage of the Kennebec River is preserved here in the late twentieth century, centered on the industrial and civic heart of Bath. The city's shoreline is dominated by its shipbuilding legacy, featuring the Marine Mus, large Dry Dock facilities, and the historic Ferry Slips connecting to Woolwich. Across the river, the landscape of Towesic Neck and Arrowsic Island remains significantly less developed, defined by tidal flats and reaches like Fiddler Reach where the Doubling Point Light marks the channel.

Residential growth extends north through North Bath and east toward Nequasset, where the Nequasset Lake pumping station provides critical infrastructure. Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial grounds, including Riverside Cem and Oak Grove Cem. The area's transportation network is anchored by the Maine Central railroad and the Carlton Br, while educational institutions like the Hyde Sch and Jr High Sch mark the town's social center.
