About this map

The Carrabassett River joins the Kennebec River at North Anson, where the local road network centers on historic crossroads at Main St and Elm St. Further south, the Sandy River winds toward its confluence near Old Point, a site marked by the Saint Sebastian Cem and Old Point Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Hilton Hill, Pease Hill, and Holland Waite Hill, while several family and neighborhood burial grounds like Mutton Hill Cem and Athearn Cem are tucked away near the many brooks feeding into the river system. This layout reveals the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of Somerset County, where settlement followed the fertile river valleys and established upland homesteads between drainage systems like Gilman Brook and Mill Stream.
