About this map

The Damariscotta River and Sheepscot River define this coastal Maine landscape, where tidal bays and narrow inlets separate historic village centers. The interconnected waterways of Salt Bay and Damariscotta Lake meet at Damariscotta Mills, a point of significant hydrological interest where freshwater and saltwater systems interact. To the west, the winding Dyer River passes through North Newcastle and Sheepscot, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to river access.

Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial sites, including the Saint Patrick Cem and the Lincoln Cem. Settlement clusters like Head Tide and Alna Center are connected by a network of historic roads such as The Kings Hwy and Head Tide Rd. The map also details coastal features like Glidden Point and Hog Island, showing the intricate shoreline and island geography of the Midcoast region.
