About this map

The Androscoggin River serves as the central artery for this part of Maine, powering industrial and utility sites like the Lisbon Falls Dam and Pejepscot Dam. The landscape transition from the manufacturing hub of Lisbon Falls to the rural expanses of South Durham and Wardtown reveals a mix of early industrial heritage and persistent agricultural land use. Family history and local genealogy are well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including the Vining Cemetery, Friends Cemetery, and the Shiloh Cemetery near the settlement of Shiloh.

Modern infrastructure, such as the Coombs Ultralight Airport near Hillside, sits alongside natural landmarks like Cox Pinnacle and Bald Rock. The drainage patterns of Newell Brook and Collins Brook dictate the placement of older settlements like Plummer Mill. This survey provides a look at the region's development before more recent suburban expansion, preserving the locations of rural school-era cemeteries and early river-based power sites.
