2014 Map of Solon

About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines the western edge of this Somerset County landscape, where the waters of the Kennebec River Reservoir meet historic riverbank sites like Arnolds Landing. The settlement of Solon serves as a local hub, connected to outlying hamlets such as South Solon and Rice Corner by a network of rural roads that navigate the area's prominent hills. Genealogists and local historians can locate several established burial grounds, including Pierce Cem, Evergreens Cem, and Jewett Cem, scattered among the drainages of Michael Stream and Fall Brook. To the east, the terrain rises significantly toward Rowell Mtn and Eaton Hill, sheltering secluded water bodies like Baker Pond and Chase Pond. The distribution of farm-named routes, such as Meader Farm Rd and Brown Farm Rd, reflects the agricultural foundations of these small Maine townships.
