2014 Map of Fayette

About this map

Echo Lake and its large islands, Turtle Island and Echo Island, dominate the eastern landscape of this central Maine region. The area is defined by a series of north-south ridges and hills, including Fayette Ridge, Baldwin Hill, and Mount Winnebago, which separate a dense network of water bodies like David Pond, Tilton Pond, and Lovejoy Pond. Settlement patterns follow these natural corridors, with clusters of activity at Sanderson Corners, Fayette Corner, and Richmond Mill. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the countryside, ranging from the Old North Fayette Cem in the north to the Gordon Cem near the southern border. The map also captures the educational and social footprint of the era, noting the prominent placement of Kents Hill and local landmarks such as Oak Hill and Manter Hill.
