About this map

Cobbosseecontee Lake dominates the southeastern portion of this Kennebec County survey, its intricate shoreline defined by places like Wings Sound, Deadmans Cove, and Horseshoe Island. The landscape is a complex network of glacial ponds and narrow waterways, including Maranacook Lake, Upper Narrows Pond, and Lower Narrows Pond, which separate the primary settlement at Winthrop from the outlying hills.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and local institutions, from the Metcalf Cem and Barber Cem to the Jesse Lee Ch in the north. The area reflects a long-standing recreation and community history, evidenced by the YMCA Camp on the lakefront and Packards Lodge near East Winthrop Bay. The Maine Central railroad corridor provides a clear view of the transportation infrastructure that served these lakeside communities and the rural crossroads of Winthrop Center.
