2024 Map of Damariscotta

About this map

Damariscotta Mills and the twin villages of Newcastle and Damariscotta anchor this coastal landscape where the Sheepscot River and tidal estuaries define the geography. The map reveals a dense network of family and community burial grounds, from the Saint Patricks Cem to the Sheepscot Cem, reflecting centuries of settlement along the winding riverbanks. Between the inland hamlet of Head Tide and the southern reaches of South Newcastle, the terrain is marked by significant points and islands, including Glidden Point and Cunningham Island. The proximity of Salt Bay and Oyster Creek illustrates the enduring maritime character of the area, where historical roads like Bunker Hill Rd and Ridge Rd connect these riverside communities and their shared heritage.
