2018 Map of North Whitefield

About this map

The Sheepscot River and its West Branch converge near North Whitefield, anchoring a landscape defined by glacial ponds and small rural settlements in Lincoln County. This 2018 survey details the transition from the river valleys to the elevated terrain of Jones Hill and Brooks Turner Hill. The settlement patterns of Whitefield and South Jefferson are punctuated by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Potter Cem, Noyes Cem, and Highland Cem, providing a precise record for genealogical research. Water bodies such as Clary Lake, Dyer Long Pond, and the northern reaches of Damariscotta Lake dominate the eastern and southern portions of the map. These features, along with named brooks like Carlton Brook and Deer Meadow Brook, illustrate the intricate drainage system feeding the central Maine coast.
