2021 Map of Caratunk

About this map

Caratunk lies along the eastern bank of the Kennebec River, serving as a focal point where Main St and Canada Rd converge in this Somerset County interior. The landscape is defined by significant elevations and a dense network of water bodies, including Moxie Mtn to the east and Cates Hill overlooking the river valley. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the northern section, crossing near Pleasant Pond and descending toward the river. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies both Caratunk Cem near the village and the more isolated Stevens Cem further south. The area is characterized by numerous small basins and bogs such as Log Landing Pond and Moores Bog, which drain via the Robinson Pond Outlet, illustrating the complex natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement and movement in this part of Maine.
