About this map

Damariscotta Lake and its prominent Great Bay anchor the western reaches of this coastal Maine landscape, where the Maine Central Railroad cuts a path through heavy forest and scattered farmsteads. The region's early 20th-century economy is visible in the clusters of settlements like Winslows Mills and Waldoboro, where the Medomak River flows toward the tidewaters of Muscongus Bay. Along the eastern edge, the St. George River connects a chain of inland waters including Sennebec Pond and Seven Tree Pond, serving as a vital corridor for the communities of Union and Warren.

The landscape is dotted with small-scale rural infrastructure, from the Town House in Jefferson to numerous one-room schoolhouses such as Slaigo School and Duckpuddle School. Coastal points like Dutch Neck and Gross Neck extend into the sound, while local mail centers like Broad Cove P.O. suggest the network of small villages that defined Lincoln and Knox Counties before modern highway development.
