About this map

The Kennebec River carves the western edge of this Somerset County landscape, framing a region defined by high ground and water. Dominating the central terrain are series of rises including Thurston Hill, Eames Hill, and Ward Hill, while the eastern portion is centered around the expansive Wesserunsett Lake. These natural features dictated the early layout of local infrastructure, seen in the path of the Trolley Line and the network of rural roads such as White School House Rd and Patterson Bridge Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the landscape, from the riverside Forest Hill Cem and Land of Rest Cem in the southwest to the East Madison Cem and Danforth Cem further north. The map documents the relationship between established settlements like Madison and East Madison and the surrounding rural environment, including small water bodies like Old Point Pond and the river islands of Savage Island and Weston Island.
