About this map

The Androscoggin River winds through this central Maine landscape, serving as a defining boundary between Kennebec and Androscoggin counties. The area is characterized by a series of small rural settlements including Turner Center, South Livermore, North Leeds, and Stricklands. These communities are connected by a web of local roads and the Maine Central railroad corridor, which follows the river's eastern bank near Turtle Island.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local history in the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the township, such as Maple Grove Cem, Keens Mills Cem, and Quaker Ridge Cem. The terrain rises from the riverbanks to prominent local heights like Butter Hill, Torry Hill, and Quaker Hill, while the Nezinscot River and Red Brook drain the western lowlands. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and family-named landmarks that have persisted along this river valley into the 21st century.
