About this map

Lincolnville and Lincolnville Center anchor this Waldo County landscape where the coastal edge of Penobscot Bay meets the interior ponds and rising hills. The map highlights a network of community corners, including Drake Corner, Carvers Corner, and Grange Corner, illustrating the early 21st-century settlement patterns of coastal Maine. Genealogists can locate numerous burying grounds such as South Belmont Cemetery, Hills Cemetery, and the Beach Cemetery near the shoreline.

Water and elevation define the local geography, from the heights of Cameron Mountain and Maiden Cliff to the low-lying reaches of Pitcher Pond and Coleman Pond. Engineered water features like Pitcher Pond Dam and Coleman Pond Dam regulate the flow through Ducktrap River and its various tributaries. The map also records several family-named landmarks and necks, such as Youngs Neck and Fernalds Neck near Norton Pond, reflecting the long-established land ownership throughout the region.
