About this map

The Kennebec River flows along the western edge of this Somerset County landscape, framing a region of high hills and scattered cemeteries. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward peaks like Thurston Hill and Eames Hill, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the expansive Wesserunsett Lake. In the northern waters, Thompson Point and Black Point reach into the lake near the settlement of East Madison.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous small burial grounds including Jones Cem, Morse Cem, and the uniquely named Land of Rest Cem. Transportation history is evident in the Trolley Line that cuts across the central part of the map below Blackwell Hill, marking an era of local transit that once connected these rural communities. The map also captures several distinct watercourses such as Pooler Brook and Turner Brook, which drain the varied topography of the Madison and Lakewood areas.
