About this map

Wellington anchors this 2018 survey, positioned at the intersection of a sprawling network of stream valleys and timbered highlands along the boundary of Piscataquis and Somerset counties. The landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands, including Wellington Bog, Ham Bog, and Lily Bog, which drain into the winding courses of Higgins Stream and Buzzell Brook. These waterways have historically dictated the placement of early settlements and road networks that navigate the steep rises of Huff Mtn and Cowett Hill.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds scattered across the township, such as Taylor Cem and the Small Philbrick Cem. The map preserves the location of Hutchins Corner and several named crossroads, reflecting a traditional New England rural settlement pattern where life centered around specific intersections and reliable water sources like Carlton Stream.
