2011 Map of Embden Pond

About this map

Embden Pond serves as the central focal point of this Somerset County landscape, flanked by significant elevations including Dunbar Hill and Savage Hill. The map detail captures the intersection of water and infrastructure, showing the Embden Pond Dam and the Hancock Pond Dam to the west. In the southern reach, the North New Portland Fairgrounds stands near the banks of the Carrabassett River, reflecting the area's agricultural and social gathering traditions. The terrain is defined by a dense network of streams, such as Martin Stream and Witham Brook, which feed into the primary basins. To the east, the Kennebec River corridor marks the boundary, while the smaller Fahi Pond and Boynton Pond cluster together. Local family and place names are preserved through the road network, including Savage Hill Rd and Williams Hill Rd, providing a clear view of how the land was partitioned and accessed in the early 21st century.
