About this map

The Kennebec River flows through the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Maine Central Railroad once connected the village of Norridgewock to the regional economy. To the south, the sprawling waters of Great Pond and North Pond dominate the terrain, reflecting the area's transition into a prominent summer destination. This era is represented by landmarks such as Camp Abena and Pine Tree Camp, situated along the shores of the Belgrade Lakes region.

Local history and genealogy are anchored in smaller crossroads and rural infrastructure, from the Starks Ch and Washington Sch to family burial grounds like Sunset View Cem and Old Oak Cem. The survey details a network of smaller water bodies, including Flying Pond and Green Pond, alongside high points like Mt Tom and McIntyre Hill, illustrating the classic interior Maine topography of glacial lakes and weathered hills.
