About this map

The Kennebec River flows through the western portion of this Somerset County landscape, framing Savage Island and Weston Island as it passes near the settlement of Madison. To the east, Wesserunsett Lake serves as a significant recreational and local hub, featuring the Wesserunsett and Ice Seaplane Base and the Sandy Beach Lakeside Campground. The shoreline is marked by distinctive points such as Black Point and Thompson Point, while the East Madison Dam regulates the Mill Stream outlet near East Madison.

A network of crossroads and small communities, including Blackwell Corner, Barron Corner, and White School Corner, illustrates the historical settlement pattern of the region. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, such as Forest Hill Cemetery, Morse Cemetery, and the Land of Rest Cemetery. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Blackwell Hill and Tarbell Hill, which rise above the many brooks, including Pooler Brook and Turner Brook, that drain into the larger river and lake systems.
