1989 Map of Madison East

About this map

The Kennebec River carves through the western landscape of this Somerset County region, framing the settlements of Anson and Madison. This late-twentieth-century survey reveals a rural network defined by its "Corners"—distinct intersections like Barron Corner, Ellis Corner, and Blackwell Corner—which likely served as historical focal points for local commerce and community life. To the east, the shoreline of Wesserunset Lake is a primary feature, hosting the community of Lakewood and its Golf Course, alongside East Madison at the northern spillway. The topography is marked by several named elevations such as Blackwell Hill and Ward Hill, while the river contains prominent landforms including Weston Island and Savage Island. This map illustrates the transition from riverfront industry and town centers to the lakeside recreation and upland farming common to central Maine.
