2021 Map of Wells

About this map

Wells Beach and the sweeping shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean define this coastal York County landscape. The map details a series of seaside communities and barrier landforms including Drakes Island, Crescent Surf, and Moody Beach. Moving inland from the Webhannet River Marsh, the settlement pattern transitions from dense coastal developments to named rural crossroads such as Charles Chase Corner, Cozy Corners, and Wells Branch. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites noted, including Ocean View Cem and Evergreen Cem, alongside established institutions like the Wells Branch Baptist Church and York County Community College. The intricate hydrology of the Merriland River and Mousam River systems reveals the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of Maine for generations.
