2018 Map of Searsmont

About this map

The Saint George River serves as the primary drainage through this mid-coast Maine landscape, winding past the village center of Searsmont and southward through Ghent. This area is defined by its prominent ridges, particularly Appleton Ridge and Muzzy Ridge, which run parallel to the river valley. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, suggesting a long history of rural settlement and farming. Small clusters of development appear at crossroads such as Shermans Mill, North Appleton, and Hope.
