About this map

The Kennebec River flows through this modern landscape where the borders of Kennebec and Somerset counties meet. This area is characterized by a high concentration of burial grounds, providing an exceptional resource for genealogical research, with sites ranging from the Nobles Ferry Cem near the river to the Town House Hill Cem further inland. Small settlements like Nyes Corner and Shawmut punctuate the rural terrain, which is defined by the prominent Battle Ridge and the winding paths of Carrabassett Stream and Twelvemile Brook. Historical local movement is reflected in the numerous named roads, such as Horseback Rd and Bellsqueeze Rd, that connect isolated homesteads to the primary thoroughfares like Skowhegan Rd. From the marshy Canaan Bog in the northwest to the industrial corridors near Shawmut, the map documents the persistent agricultural and river-focused character of the region.
