About this map

Sheepscot Pond and its many connected waterways, including the Deadwater and the Slough, dominate the landscape of this mid-coastal Maine region as it was surveyed in the early 1960s. The map illustrates a rural network of small crossroads settlements like Razorville, Sandhill Corner, and Hibberts Corner, while highlighting the unique administrative boundaries of Hibberts Gore and the Somerville Plantation. Local education and conservation efforts are grounded in landmarks such as the Sandhill Sch and a Fish Hatchery near the pond's edge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named burial grounds, including the Hannan Cem, Lenfest Cem, and Gove Cem. The topography is defined by prominent elevations like Cunningham Mountain and Patrick Mountain, which separate the major watersheds of the Sheepscot River and Washington Pond. Roads are largely limited to local routes and a web of Jeep Trails that link these isolated farmsteads and summer camps.
