About this map

The Eastern River and its tidal flats anchor this 1970 snapshot of rural Kennebec and Lincoln Counties. The landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks, such as North Pittston and East Pittston, situated between the elevations of Williams Hill and Beech Hill. Extensive brook networks including Stony Brook and Meadow Brook drain into the river system, reflecting the traditional drainage patterns that dictated early farm placement and road construction in the region.

Local history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds like Butman Cem, Goodspeed Cem, and Maple Grove Cem, which sit alongside historic transit routes such as Kelly Road and Alexander Rd. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Sheepscot River corridor near the village of Whitefield, while the interior features significant water bodies like Nehumkeag Pond and the secluded Joys Pond.
