About this map

Kennebec County’s landscape of glacial lakes and interconnected waterways is meticulously detailed in this 1966 field survey. A chain of major water bodies, including Echo Lake, Lovejoy Pond, and Parker Pond, dominates the eastern half of the quadrangle, where the settlement of West Mount Vernon and the recreational grounds of Camp Winnebago occupy the shoreline. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Baldwin Hill and Fayette Ridge, which separate the pond basins from the Meadow Brook valley to the west.

Local industry and education appear through landmarks like Richmond Mill and the Kents Hill School campus. Small rural crossroads, including Twelve Corners, Sanderson Corners, and Fayette Corner, anchor the interior road network of North Road and East Road. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of rural burial grounds, such as Kent Cem, and several unnamed cemeteries scattered near the old settlements of North Fayette and North Wayne.
