About this map

Embden Pond and the surrounding Somerset County highlands are defined by a network of glacial lakes and significant river corridors. In this 2014 representation, the land between the Kennebec River and the Carrabassett River is marked by prominent elevations like Old Bluff Mtn, Savage Hill, and Dunbar Hill. Local history is anchored by the Savage Hill Cem and Concord Corner Cem, reflecting early settlement patterns in this part of Maine.

The topography transitions from the high ridges of Black Hill down to the complex hydrography of Sandy Pond, Fahi Pond, and Boynton Pond in the southeast. A dense network of local roads, such as Embden Rd and Kennebec River Rd, follows the contours of the terrain, tracing the development of lakeside communities and the rural infrastructure that connects these water bodies and historical burial grounds.
