About this map

The Damariscotta River and the Pemaquid River define this coastal landscape, shaping a series of jagged peninsulas and islands that have supported maritime communities for generations. In the village of Bristol, the Bristol Mills Dam marks the head of the tide where industry once flourished. To the west, the settlements of Walpole and West Bristol sit above the riverbanks, with the West Bristol Cemetery providing a genealogical record of the area's residents.

Coastal navigation is detailed through numerous named features such as Pools Landing, Carlisle Island, and Fort Point, indicating a deeply utilized shoreline. Inland, landmarks like the Boothbay Railway Village and the high ground of Haggett Hill and Mount Hunger offer a contrast to the tidal flats of Salt Marsh Cv. The network of local roads, including Pension Ridge Rd and River Rd, connects these small coastal hubs, preserving the 21st-century footprint of this Lincoln County region.
