2018 Map of Gardiner

About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines the geography of this survey, where the river winds past the settlements of Farmingdale, Randolph, and South Gardiner. The landscape is notably dotted with legacy burial sites, ranging from the Christ Church Cenotaphs and Oak Grove Cem to smaller, family-named plots like the Brown Family Cem and Babb Cem. Navigation and industry are suggested by the presence of Upper Sands Shoal and the landmark Iron Mine Hill overlooking the junction of Cobbosseecontee Stream. The map also captures the confluence of several water bodies, including Togus Stream and the Abagadasset River, alongside low-lying river features such as The Sands Island and Nehumkeag Island. This detailed record illustrates the persistent relationship between the tidal river and the established residential communities of Kennebec County.
