2018 Map of Palermo

About this map

Fifteenmile Stream and the W Br Sheepscot River define the glacial landscape of this Central Maine region, where the border between Kennebec and Waldo counties meets. The settlement of Palermo serves as a local hub, connected to smaller communities like North Palermo and Greeley Corner by a network of ridge-running roads. These routes, including Western Ridge Rd and Bessey Ridge Rd, follow the high ground between a dense concentration of water bodies such as Hackmatack Pond, Saban Pond, and Prescott Pond. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites recorded, from the Branch Mills Cem near the river to the Dennis Hill Cem and Osgood Cem located deeper in the rural interior. The topography is dominated by prominent elevations like Level Hill and Libby Hill, which shaped the early agricultural and transport patterns of the township.
