1898 Map of Norridgewock

USGS Topo · Published 1902

About this map

The Kennebec River and Sandy River serve as the primary geographic anchors for this central Maine landscape, surveyed in the late nineteenth century. In the north, Norridgewock and South Norridgewock are connected near the Somerset R. R., while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling waters of Great Pond, North Pond, and East Pond. The presence of the Davis Ferry on the Sandy River highlights the importance of water crossings before modern bridging was universal. The area shows a mature network of small agricultural and industrial centers like Belgrade Mills and Mercer, often situated near falls or streams such as Bombazee Rips. Transportation is further defined by the Maine Central R. R. cutting through the southeast corner near North Belgrade, linking these lake-district settlements to the broader regional economy.
