2014 Map of Wiscasset

About this map

The village of Wiscasset anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, situated along the Sheepscot River and Cod Cove. Moving inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of inland waters and small family-named cemeteries that speak to the long history of settlement in Lincoln County. Significant landmarks include the Dresden Bog Reservoir and Gardiner Pond, while the northwestern corner is marked by Dresden Mills near the banks of the Eastern River. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, identifying over a dozen burial sites including Ancient Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Rhumrill Cem. These locations, many situated along rural routes like Gardiner Rd and Old Dresden Rd, offer a spatial record of the area's ancestral homesteads and established community centers.
