2011 Map of Winthrop

About this map

Winthrop serves as the hub of a landscape defined by its interconnected waterways, where the village center sits between the shores of Annabessacook Lake and Maranacook Lake. By the early 21st century, the area’s identity remained deeply tied to its glacial lake system, evidenced by specialized infrastructure like the Fowler Seaplane Base on Upper Narrows Pond and the Lakeside Marina Seaplane Base near East Winthrop. The map reveals a high density of seasonal and year-round residential development along the shorelines of Cobbosseecontee Lake, with numerous named islands such as Hodgdon Island and Horseshoe Island. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, including Lakeview Cemetery and the more secluded Whittier Cemetery near Maranacook. The presence of several dams, such as the Maranacook Lake Upper Dam and Carleton Pond Dam, indicates the long-standing management of these waters for local utility and recreation.
