About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines this part of Somerset County, where the industrial and natural landscapes of central Maine converge. The massive Wyman Lake reservoir dominates the northern geography, created by the Wyman Dam, which stands near the Wyman Dam Post Office. This engineering feat significantly altered the river's flow, supporting the local economy in Moscow and the adjacent town of Bingham.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the riverbanks, particularly near the intersection of Austin Stream and the Kennebec. Local history is preserved at the Union Cemetery and through various family-named roads like Walker Rd and Preble Rd. The surrounding terrain rises sharply toward Baker Mountain and Fletcher Mountain, while smaller water bodies such as Temple Pond and Jackson Pond dot the higher elevations. The map also captures smaller industrial markers like the Mill Stream Dam and the natural beauty of Houston Brook Falls.
