About this map

Winthrop and its surrounding lakefront communities are defined by the intricate shorelines of central Maine’s interconnected waterways. The landscape is dominated by large bodies of water including Maranacook Lake, Annabessacook Lake, and Cobbosseecontee Lake. These lakes are dotted with numerous islands such as Cuba Island, Belle Island, and Hersey Island, reflecting the area's long-standing character as a summer destination and residential hub.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, from the Benson Family Cem near Bog Brook to the Friends Cem and Monmouth Neck Cem further south. The map traces the development of local roads and shoreline drives like Maranacook Shore Rd and Packard Shores RD, which provide access to historic points like Welch Point and Robbins Point. Elevated views from Sturtevant Hill and Monks Hill overlook a geography shaped by both natural drainage and early settlements like East Winthrop and Tallwood.
