2021 Map of Burnham

About this map

The Sebasticook River serves as the central geographic feature of this area, where the borders of Somerset, Waldo, and Kennebec Counties converge. The settlement of Burnham sits at a strategic bend in the river, characterized by a concentration of local history markers including the Burnham Village Cem and Mudgett Cem. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Twentyfive Mile Stream and Johnson Brook, which flow through low-lying marshlands and wetlands. To the south, the village of Winnecook remains connected via Winnecook Rd, while the western edge reaches toward Clinton. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying numerous burial grounds such as Weymouth Cem, Sideling Cem, and Carr Cem that serve as waypoints across this multi-county junction.
