About this map

Swan Island sits prominently in the middle of the Kennebec River, anchored by its own Swan Island Cem and surrounded by numerous named features such as Theobald Point and Wade Cove. On the western bank, the town of Richmond is a central hub, while smaller riverside settlements like Iceboro, Harwards, and Cedar Grove highlight the long-standing maritime and agricultural orientation of Sagadahoc and Lincoln counties.

The landscape is densely marked with family and community burial grounds, including the Plummer Cem in the north and the Carding Machine Cem near the Abagadasset River. These small cemeteries, alongside roads like Dinsmore Cross Rd and Alexander Reed Rd, indicate a dispersed pattern of early farmsteads. The eastern shore across from the Lovejoy Narrows features West Dresden and South Dresden, where the Eastern River flows through a landscape of points and ledges like Goodwin Point and Ames Ledge.
