About this map

The Passagassawakeag River flows toward the coast of Waldo County, defining the industrial and geographic character of this region. Early industrial sites such as Holmes Mill and the Holmes Mill Dam sit upstream from the Head of the Tide, where the river begins its tidal estuary. The settlement pattern is dominated by numerous historic intersections and family-named corners, including Evans Corner, Neals Corner, and Simpsons Corner.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the landscape, ranging from the Harding Cemetery in the north to the South Belfast Cemetery near the Little River. The eastern edge of the map features the Goose River Reservoir and Masons Dam, highlighting the historical importance of water management for the coastal city of Belfast. Transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Wbme railroad and the Belfast Municipal Airport.
