2011 Map of Readfield

About this map

Readfield sits at the center of a complex network of waterways and early cemeteries in the Maine interior. The landscape is defined by large bodies of water including Torsey Lake, Maranacook Lake, and the southern reach of Great Pond. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds such as Beam Cemetery, Philbrick Cemetery, and Robinson Cemetery. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of the region, from the Seven G's Seaplane Base on Minnehonk Lake to the various water control points like Long Pond Storage Dam and Grist Mill Pond Dam. Smaller hamlets and crossroads like Locks Corner, Wings Mills, and Readfield Depot illustrate the historical settlement patterns that followed the brooks and streams of Kennebec County.
