2021 Map of Solon

About this map

The Kennebec River flows southward through this Somerset County landscape, serving as the historical boundary between the towns of Solon and Embden. This modern survey illustrates a region defined by its narrow river valley and the series of prominent heights that flank it, including Rowell Mtn and Robbins Hill. The village of Solon sits at a strategic bend in the river, where Fall Brook enters the main channel. Smaller settlements like South Solon are scattered among the eastern uplands, connected by a network of rural roads such as Brighton Rd and Lakewood Rd. Genealogists will find several documented burial sites throughout the township, including Pierce Cem near the riverbanks and Evergreens Cem further inland. The map also traces the winding courses of Michael Stream and Kincaid Stream as they drain the interior hills into the primary waterway.
