About this map

The Kennebec River serves as the central axis for this coastal Maine landscape, dividing the settlements of Sidney and Riverside to the west from the village centers of Vassalboro and Getchell Corner to the east. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south ridges, with elevated points like Cook Hill and Taber Hill overlooking the expansive Webber Pond. The water network is intricate, featuring drainage from Sevenmile Brook and the Outlet Stream, controlled in part by the Webber Pond Dam and the Seven Mile Brook Dam.

For family historians, the landscape is punctuated by numerous burial grounds including Bowman Cemetery, Field Cemetery, and the Union Cemetery. Rural development follows historic corridors like Middle Rd and Town Farm Rd, connecting small communities such as North Sidney and Seaward Mills. The map provides a clear look at the early 21st-century road network and land use before subsequent modern developments changed the character of these riverside townships.
