2014 Map of Bowdoinham

About this map

Bowdoinham and Bowdoin Center anchor this mid-coast Maine landscape, where the Cathance River and its various branches, including the E Cathance Stream and W Cathance Stream, dictate the layout of roads and settlements. This 2014 survey captures a rural environment defined by long-standing family farmstead sites and local landmarks. Genealogical researchers will find an exceptional density of small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, from the Leonard Family Cem near Wheeler Hill to the Hix Small Cem along Hix Small Cemetery Rd. To the north, Richmond Corner and Varney Corner mark historical intersections at the Kennebec and Sagadahoc county line. The presence of Merrymeeting Field and the waters of Caesar Pond further highlight the area's mixed character of protected woodlands and traditional Maine village centers.
