About this map

The Androscoggin River serves as the central artery for this part of Maine, widening significantly into Gulf Island Pond behind the Gulf Island Dam. This hydrological landscape defines the boundary between the growing outskirts of Auburn and the more rural reaches of Greene and South Turner. The area is notably dense with lineage-rich burial grounds, including the Saint Peters Cemetery near the riverbank and the Upper Street Cemetery to the northwest, providing significant data for genealogical research.

Industrial and recreational uses of the water are evident at the Deer Rips Dam and Lake Auburn, where the Auburn Municipal Beach and Lake Auburn Dam mark the transition from the city's water supply to its public spaces. Aviation history is grounded at Twitchell Airport near Round Pond, while the surrounding terrain is punctuated by landmarks like Clark Mountain and Merrill Hill, which overlook the complex network of brooks and bogs feeding into the river system.
