2021 Map of Palermo

About this map

Palermo and North Palermo anchor this central Maine landscape where the Kennebec Co and Waldo Co border bisects a terrain of interconnected ponds and streams. The W Br Sheepscot River flows through the heart of the area, feeding into Branch Pond and Dowe Pond near the settlement of Palermo. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Greeley Corner Cem and New Greeley Corner Cem, suggests a long-established rural population and provides significant data for genealogical research. The geography is defined by prominent elevations such as Level Hill and Sanford Hill, which overlook a network of water bodies like Bear Pond, Beech Pond, and Saban Pond. Numerous local routes, such as Horseback Rd and Parmenter Hill Rd, connect these scattered settlements and cemeteries, reflecting the traditional township development of the region.
