About this map

Bowdoinham and the surrounding riverfront of the Cathance River define this part of Sagadahoc County, where the landscape transitions from rolling hills to tidal marshlands. This survey illustrates a network of rural routes connecting historic family burial sites, including the Leonard Family Cem near Hornbeam Hill and the Purinton Cem along the Augusta Rd. The town center of Bowdoinham is situated near the confluence of local waterways, where the Denham Stream and Sedgeley Brook meet the main river channel at Patten Point.

Further north, Richmond Corner serves as a notable crossroads, surrounded by agricultural land and small tributaries like Mallon Brook. The presence of numerous named cemeteries such as Sturtevant Cem and Blanchard Cem provides significant genealogical value, marking the long-standing family settlements that have shaped the region since its early development. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Wheeler Hill, providing a clear view of the complex drainage system of the W Cathance Stream and East Cathance Stream.
