2021 Map of Phippsburg

About this map

The complex shoreline of the Kennebec River and its surrounding tidal waters characterize this coastal Maine landscape. Centered on the peninsula between Winnegance Bay and the river, the map details a region defined by its marine orientation, with numerous small harbors and coves such as Sebasco Harbor and Brighams Cove. Genealogy and local history are exceptionally well-represented through dozens of family burial sites, including the Lithgow Morse Farms Burying Ground and the Bartlett Family Cem. These sites, often located near private residences and farms, suggest a long-standing pattern of family-centered settlement across the rocky terrain of Rich Hill and Cushman Hill. The inland geography is a mixture of wetlands like Parker Head Swamp and numerous small water bodies such as Wah-Tuh Lake and Houghton Pond, illustrating the intricate drainage systems common to the Sagadahoc County coast.
