1989 Map of Wellington

About this map

Wellington serves as the primary crossroads in this rural section of Piscataquis and Somerset Counties during the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, including Woodman Bog, Whitehouse Bog, and Wellington Bog, which feed into Higgins Stream and Ferguson Brook. Small settlements and family-named intersections like Burdin Corner, Hutchins Corner, and Huff Corner reflect the area's genealogical history and early land divisions. Natural elevations such as Huff Mountain and King Hill rise above the drainage basins of Meadow Brook and Buzzell Brook. Local industry is represented by Gravel Pits located near the southern boundary with Harmony, indicating the ongoing extraction of glacial deposits. This document captures the transition between organized townships and the more sparsely settled Kingsbury Plantation.
