2011 Map of Solon

About this map

The Kennebec River carves through the heart of this Maine landscape, serving as a historic corridor for transportation and industry at Arnolds Landing and the Williams Dam. This 2011 survey documents the dispersed rural settlements of Solon, South Solon, and Embden, where the geography is defined by family-named hills like French Hill and Whipple Hill. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several established burial grounds, including Pierce Cemetery in the north and Jewett Cemetery near the crossroads of Twelve Corners. The network of backroads, such as Meader Farm Rd and Davis Farm Rd, reflects an enduring agricultural tradition. Small water bodies and brooks, including Rowell Pond and Fall Brook, thread through the upland terrain of Rowell Mountain and Parkman Hill, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Somerset County highlands.
