About this map

The Kennebec River carves a deep valley along the eastern boundary of this landscape, separating Somerset Co from Kennebec Co. Along this waterway, the settlement of Hinckley and the historic Pishon Ferry site anchor the river-bound infrastructure. The terrain to the west is defined by a series of prominent ridges and peaks, including Little Bear Mtn, Bear Mtn, and Bigelow Hill, which influence the winding drainage patterns of Martin Stream and Craigin Brook.

Family and local histories are preserved in numerous rural burying grounds such as Larone Cem, Covell Cem, and Friend Cem, which are scattered near the small crossroads of Larone and Holway Corner. The map detail captures a late twentieth-century rural character where established town centers like Norridgewock and North Fairfield connect via old routes like Norridgewock Rd and Middle Rd, tracing the early settlement patterns of the Maine interior.
