About this map

The Kennebec River anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, where the industrial and commercial center of Skowhegan thrives along the Maine Central RR. This 1913 landscape is defined by its rural density, featuring an extensive network of schoolhouses and mills that supported the local agricultural and timber economies. Notable community hubs like Malbons Mills and Harmony are connected by well-established routes such as the Cambridge Road.

Central to the terrain is the Wesserunsett Stream system, which fed sites like Waltons Mill and passed through the township of Cornville. To the east, the geography shifts toward significant water bodies including Moose Pond and Mainstream Pond. The map serves as a detailed record of Somerset County’s turn-of-the-century social structure, marking nearly two dozen neighborhood schools like the Revere School and Kinsman School, alongside landmarks like the Union Church.
