About this map

Medomak River and the complex tidal inlets of the Maine coast define this mid-coastal landscape, where the town of Waldoboro serves as a central hub. The map illustrates a historic settlement pattern of small crossroads and "corners," such as Harrington Corner, Sprague Corner, and Eugley Corner, which reflect the region's agricultural and maritime development. Prominent water bodies like Damariscotta Lake and Pemaquid Pond dominate the western half, their shores lined with small roads and family landmarks like Winslow Hill.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites including the German Protestant Cem, Creamer Cem, and Riverside Cem, documenting the area's early European lineage. The southern reaches of the map show the transition from inland ponds to the saltwater environments of Broad Cove and Hockomock Channel, where peninsulas like Jones Neck and Keene Neck stretch toward the Atlantic, illustrating the geographic isolation that shaped these coastal communities.
