About this map

Gardiner serves as the focal point of this Kennebec River valley survey, where the river's path is marked by shoals and islands like Upper Sands Shoal and The Sands Island. The riverfront geography is defined by a series of points and coves, including Eastman Point, Trotts Point, and Lyons Cove, illustrating the historical importance of the waterway to local commerce. Inland, the landscape is bisected by the Cobbosseecontee Stream, which flows through the Cobbosseecontee Stream Reservoir before reaching the main river channel.

Local history and genealogy are well represented through a dense network of burial sites and family landmarks. Researchers can find Oak Grove Cem and Saint Josephs Cem in the more developed corridors, while smaller family plots such as the Brown Family Cem and Babb Cem are located in the outlying hills. Notable landmarks such as Iron Mine Hill and the Christ Church Cenotaphs provide specific points of interest for those studying the social and industrial development of this central Maine region.
