1893 Map of Vassalboro

About this map

China Lake dominates the eastern half of this Kennebec County landscape, which was surveyed by Jennings in 1891. The area's mid-nineteenth-century industrial legacy is visible in the numerous mill settlements scattered throughout, including North Vassalboro, Seaward Mills, and Weeks Mills along the Sheepscot River. The western edge of the region is defined by the Kennebec River, where the Maine Central R. R. follows the riverbank past Vassalboro and Riverside. This topographical study reveals an economy tied closely to its water bodies and high ground, where hills like Bolton Hill and Cook Hill overlook a network of smaller ponds such as Togus Pond and Weber Pond. The map also clearly delineates civil boundaries, including the Kennebec Co Lincoln Co Boundary Line and several township divisions including Windsor and China.
