1905 Map of Bingham

About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines the western edge of this Somerset County landscape, serving as the primary axis for movement and early industry just after the turn of the century. The settlement at Bingham occupies a strategic bend in the river, while further north, the village of Carritunk marks the entryway to a high, pond-studded interior. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks like Bald Mountain and Baker Mtn, which overlook a complex network of waterways including Austin Stream and Heald Stream. Notable for local history is the presence of the Carrying Place, a historical portage route that underscores the region's reliance on river navigation before the widespread expansion of mountain roads. Family names are etched into the geography through features such as Tibbetts Pond, Merrill Pond, and Johnson Mountain, reflecting the early landholders and settlers of the central Maine wilderness.
