2021 Map of Bingham

About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines the landscape of central Somerset County, where the village of Bingham serves as a focal point for the surrounding highlands. The river's path is marked by significant features like Big Island and the expansive waters of Wyman Lake, which fills the valley between Moscow and the western ridges. Higher elevations are dominated by summits such as Fletcher Mtn, Baker Mtn, and Old Bluff Mtn, providing a stark contrast to the settled riverbanks. For those tracing local history and family lineages, several burial grounds are documented, including Bingham Village Cem, Union Cem, and Pierce Hill Cem. The map detail shows the transition from the concentrated street grid of Bingham, featuring Main St and Murray St, to the more rural stretches of Pleasant Ridge and the winding course of Houston Brook toward its namesake Houston Brook Falls.
