2014 Map of Winthrop

About this map

The town of Winthrop serves as a central hub in this lake-dominated landscape, situated between the expansive Maranacook Lake and the interconnected waters of Upper Narrows Pond and Lower Narrows Pond. The map reveals a high density of named family and community burial grounds, including Maple Cem, Metcalf Cem, and the Benson Family Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Kennebec County. The rugged topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Sturtevant Hill and Monks Hill, which overlook a complex network of points and islands within Cobbosseecontee Lake, such as Horseshoe Island and Crams Point. This 2014 survey documents the established residential patterns in East Winthrop and Island Park, alongside the protected waters of Carleton Pond, illustrating how the region's geography has dictated local settlement and transportation routes.
