2011 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Damariscotta Lake defines the western landscape of this Maine quadrangle, where the waters of the Dyer River and Davis Stream converge. The settlement of Jefferson sits at the northern tip of the lake, serving as a central point for a network of rural roads and historical homesteads. The map illustrates a community anchored by traditional land use, from the Brown Homestead in the south to outlying crossroads like Stickney Corner and Globe in the north. Numerous cemeteries, including Shepherd Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The presence of recreational landmarks such as Camp Wavus and Camp Kieve along the shoreline highlights the enduring importance of the lake to the region's seasonal identity, while the eastern reaches are drained by the Medomak River near North Waldoboro.
