1898 Map of Norridgewock

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

The Kennebec River flows through the heart of this late-nineteenth-century Somerset County landscape, marked by the prominent bend at Norridgewock and South Norridgewock. The area's transport-driven economy is evident in the operation of the Davis Ferry on the Sandy River and the path of the Somerset R. R. cutting through the hills. To the south, the terrain gives way to an extensive chain of lakes, where communities like Belgrade Mills and North Belgrade are established along the shores of Great Pond and Ellis Pond. Numerous named peaks, including Dodlin Hill and Hampshire Hill, rise between the river valleys and the lake district, illustrating the complex glacial topography that defined local settlement patterns and the timber-and-water industrial base of the era.
