2021 Map of Togus Pond

About this map

Togus and the surrounding eastern suburbs of Augusta are characterized by a dense concentration of historical burial grounds and a complex system of interconnected waterways. The landscape is defined by its numerous ponds, including Togus Pond, Little Togus Pond, and Lower Togus Pond, which drain through Togus Stream toward the Kennebec River. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named and institutional cemeteries, such as the Togus National Cem and its East counterpart, along with the Searls Mills Cem, Trask Cem, and James Preble Cem. Significant topographic features like Bolton Hill and Porcupine Hill rise between the water bodies, while the area is bisected by major thoroughfares including North Belfast Avenue and Eastern Avenue, reflecting the transition from the city center to the rural-residential character of Chelsea.
