About this map

The Veterans Administrative Facility and its associated grounds dominate the landscape of Chelsea and southern Augusta in the early 1980s. This sprawling complex is anchored by the V A National Cemetery West and the Togus National Cemetery, significant landmarks for genealogical research and military history. The settlement of Togus serves as a central hub for this institutional area, located just east of the Kennebec River valley.

Beyond the federal facilities, the map reveals a rural landscape characterized by numerous water bodies and small hills. Togus Pond and Lower Togus Pond form a long, central aquatic corridor, while local landmarks like Bolton Hill and the Chelsea Sch illustrate the community structure. Family-named sites like Bolton Hill Cem and several small churches, including Maranatha Ch and Advent Ch, provide specific points of interest for local history enthusiasts.
