About this map

The Carrabassett River meets the Kennebec River in this Somerset County landscape, anchoring the historic villages of North Anson and Anson. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Hilton Hill, Pease Hill, and Holland Waite Hill, interspersed with water bodies like Nevens Pond and Cold Pond. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, evident in the numerous burial grounds such as Athearn Cem and Sunset Cem. Near the southern bend of the Kennebec, Old Point stands as a notable location, marked by the Sebastian Rasle Cem and the Old Point Cem. The map illustrates a developed road network connecting these settlements, with Trotting Park providing a distinct recreational landmark near the riverbank. This documentation of the area’s river-and-road geography offers a clear view of the longstanding community hubs that have persisted along these vital Maine waterways.
