About this map

Sheepscot Pond and the headwaters of the Sheepscot River dominate this central Maine landscape, where the town lines of China, Palermo, Somerville, and Liberty converge. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south ridges and low-lying wetlands, with notable elevations at Patrick Mountain and Cunningham Mountain. Water management for local industry is evident at the Colby Mills Dam and Sheepscot Pond Dam, while the presence of a Fish Hatchery near the pond’s edge suggests a continued reliance on these natural water resources.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local family history through numerous small burial grounds, including the Hannan Cemetery, Lenfest Cemetery, and Gove Cemetery. These sites, along with small crossroads settlements like Razorville, Hibberts Corner, and Sandhill Corner, reflect a classic New England rural settlement pattern where community life was anchored by local streams such as Crummett Brook and Davis Stream.
