2011 Map of Unity Pond

About this map

Unity Pond dominates the southern landscape of this central Maine region, serving as a focal point for the lakeside communities of Oakwood and Windemere. The map reveals a high density of named crossroads that define the local social geography, including Smarts Corner, Cooks Corner, and Mitchell Corner, which likely evolved around family farms and rural commerce. To the north, the Sebasticook River flows past Peltoma Bridge, while Carlton Pond is controlled by the Carlton Pond Dam, feeding into Carlton Stream. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the townships, such as Chandler Cemetery near the western shore of the pond and Fairview Cemetery further east near Hales Corner. This network of brooks, including Beartrap Brook and Bithers Brook, illustrates the complex drainage system feeding into the larger water bodies that have historically supported the area's agriculture and early industry.
