About this map

Maranacook Lake and Cobbosseecontee Lake anchor this central Maine landscape, where the town of Winthrop and smaller settlements like Tallwood and East Winthrop are defined by an intricate network of narrow ponds and wooded hills. The lake-centric geography includes Upper Narrows Pond and Lower Narrows Pond, which carve a central corridor through the terrain. Numerous islands, such as Horseshoe Island and Molazigan Island, punctuate the waters of Cobbosseecontee Lake, illustrating the complex shoreline that has long drawn seasonal and permanent residents.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Monmouth Neck Cem, Lakeview Cem, and the Friends Cem near Neck Rd. Higher elevations like Sturtevant Hill and Monks Hill offer clear overlooks of the water systems. The map traces the development of local roads and shoreline access points, such as Island Park and Robbins Point, reflecting the region's enduring character as a hub of water-based recreation and lakeside living.
