About this map

The Kennebec River bends sharply through the town of Norridgewock, serving as the primary geographical axis for this central Maine landscape. In the early 1980s, the area's development concentrated near the river crossing, where the Maine Central railroad line runs parallel to the water through the village center. This survey documents the transition from the concentrated settlement at Norridgewock to the outlying agricultural and wooded tracts defined by prominent elevations like McIntyre Hill and Dodling Hill.

Further south, the landscape shifts toward the lake country surrounding Smithfield, with the northern reaches of North Pond and East Pond coming into focus. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Old Oak Cem and Gould Cem, while the Central Maine Airport of Norridgewock and various gravel pits indicate the mid-century industrial and transport infrastructure that sustained the local economy.
