About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines this portion of Kennebec County, anchoring the communities of Gardiner, Randolph, and South Gardiner. The river's industrial legacy is evident in the presence of the American Tissue Dam and New Mills Dam along the Cobbosseecontee Stream, which winds through the northern portion of the map. High ground like Iron Mine Hill and Libby Hill overlooks the valley, while the river itself features numerous navigational landmarks such as Farmingdale Shoal and The Sands Island.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, ranging from the central Saint Josephs Cemetery and West Hill Cemetery to the more outlying Coss Hill Cemetery and Reed Cemetery near the Umberhind Marsh. The southern reaches of the map show a transition to more open space, including the Richmond Camp Ground and the Abagadasset River headwaters, illustrating the varied terrain of the central Maine riverfront.
