About this map

Wyman Lake dominates the central corridor of this Somerset County landscape, a significant widening of the Kennebec River that defines the local geography. On the eastern shore, the town of Moscow is situated along the riverbanks, where early 21st-century residential patterns are clustered near the junction of Station Rd and Austin Stream. The terrain rises sharply away from the water toward Baker Mtn and Fletcher Mtn, revealing a network of logging and local access roads like Carry Pond Rd and Fletcher Mountain Rd.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Union Cem near the town center and the secluded Pierce Hill Cem to the north. West of the lake, the settlement of Pleasant Ridge sits amidst a landscape of smaller water bodies and streams, including Rowe Pond and the cascading Houston Brook Falls. The map details the transition from the river-valley community to the high ridges of the Maine woods.
