1982 Map of Hinckley

About this map

The Kennebec River carves a deep valley through this Maine landscape, serving as the boundary between Somerset and Kennebec counties. Along its western bank, the Maine Central Railroad tracks parallel the water, connecting the riverfront settlement of Hinckley to the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. To the west, the terrain rises into prominent elevations such as Bigelow Hill, Little Bear Mtn, and Bear Mtn, while the rural interior is dotted with small crossroads like Larone and Holway Corner. This 1982 provisional edition details the mid-century infrastructure of the region, including local landmarks like the Hinckley Home Farm Sch and several family burial grounds such as Covell Cem and Friend Cem. The map reveals a land defined by its drainages, where Martin Stream and Snow Brook feed into the Kennebec, and local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pits.
