About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines this Somerset County landscape, where the historical hamlet of Hinckley and the river-crossing at Pishon Ferry mark traditional points of commerce and transit. Further inland, smaller agricultural and residential clusters like Larone, North Fairfield, and Holway Corner are linked by a network of rural roads such as Wentworth Orchard Rd and Back Rd. The map reveals a community-centered geography anchored by the Good Will Homes and several long-established burial grounds, including Covell Cemetery, Friend Cemetery, and Tozier Cemetery.

Topographically, the area rises from the river valley toward prominent elevations like Little Bear Mountain and Brooks Ridge. Numerous drainage systems, most notably Martin Stream and its tributaries like Snow Brook and Lost Brook, carve through the terrain. The inclusion of the Hapworths Landing Area highlights the continued importance of river access in a region where local geography is dictated by the winding path of the Kennebec.
