2021 Map of Kingsbury

About this map

Brighton and Kingsbury anchor this interior Maine landscape, where the county line between Piscataquis and Somerset counties runs through a terrain dominated by bogs and high peaks. The region is defined by a heavy concentration of water bodies, including Mayfield Pond, Wyman Pond, and Smith Pond, interspersed with expansive wetlands like Whitman Bog and Scribner Bog. The settlement pattern follows established routes like Brighton Rd and Kingsbury Rd, which connect the small villages to the surrounding timberlands and hills. Local history is preserved in small, family-named burial grounds such as Flanders Cem, Kelley Cem, and Foss Hill Cem, while topographic landmarks like Foss Mtn and Kelly Mtn provide significant vertical relief. The presence of Old Kingsbury Rd suggests the historical pathways once used to navigate these uplands before modern highway alignments.
