2024 Map of China Lake

About this map

China Lake dominates the central geography of this Kennebec County landscape, serving as the focal point for several distinct communities including China, East Vassalboro, and South China. The shoreline is characterized by prominent features such as Wentworth Point, Killdeer Point, and Indian Island, while the surrounding terrain rises to local heights like Priest Hill. This 2024 data highlights a deeply established rural cemetery network, ranging from the North Vassalboro Village Cem in the northwest to the South China Cem and Jones Cem near the southern basin. The settlement pattern is largely influenced by the historic road network, including the Causeway Rd and Lakeview Dr, which follow the natural contours of the lake and the Outlet Stream. Genealogists will find an unusually high density of family-named burial sites, such as the Morrell Cem, Goddard Cem, and Whitehouse Cem, providing a direct link to the region's agricultural and village heritage.
