About this map

Sheepscot River and its intricate network of tidal channels define this coastal landscape on the edge of Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties. The map details the elongated landmass of Westport, where Middle Road serves as the primary artery connecting the community's rural dwellings and the Westport Ch. To the north, North Edgecomb sits near the historic Fort Edgecomb State Park on Davis Island, guarding the strategic waters of The Eddy.

The hydrographic complexity is evident in the transition from Montsweag Bay through the Cowseagan Narrows into the wider river reaches. Industrial and transport footprints are visible at the Powerplant and Wiscasset Airport, while the interior terrain is marked by Whaleback Ridge and numerous small cemeteries like Woodlawn Cem. This coastal study captures a region where the traditional economy of the shore meets modern infrastructure, preserving the names of family-held points and ledges like McCarty Cove and Merrill Ledge.
