About this map

North Berwick serves as the primary hub of activity in this part of York County, where industrial legacy meets the drainage of the Great Works River. The presence of the Hussey Plow Company Dam and Douthy Falls Dam underscores a history of water-powered industry that shaped the town's center. Moving away from the village, the landscape is defined by several distinct hill clusters and upland settlements like Perkins Town, Merriland Ridge, and Tatnic.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the larger Hillside Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery to smaller family or community plots such as Littlefield Cemetery, Jackson Cemetery, and the Quaker Cemetery. The northern reaches are characterized by recreational and natural features including Bauneg Beg Pond and the Sanford Health Camp near Saywards Corner. This survey records a transition from the dense residential grid of the town to the sprawling rural reaches of eastern Maine.
