About this map

Arrowsic Island and the rugged coastal fingers of Phippsburg dominate this peninsula at the turn of the millennium. The landscape is defined by the massive Kennebec River and its intricate network of tidal bays and ponds, including Winnegance Bay and Atkins Bay. This survey captures the maritime and military heritage of the area, most notably at the mouth of the river where the Fort Popham Lighthouse stands near the Fort Baldwin US Mil Res.

Tracing the coastline reveals a history of local industry and settlement, from the Old Mica Mine near The Basin to the established villages of Parker Head and West Georgetown. Small coastal communities like Sebasco Estates and Ashdale are linked by winding routes like Popham Road, while family-named landmarks such as Sam Day Hill and Perry Hill offer a glimpse into the local genealogy of Sagadahoc County.
