1893 Map of Wiscasset

About this map

The Sheepscot River and its many tributaries carve through the rolling hills of Lincoln County, defining the settlement patterns of the late nineteenth century. Small hamlets such as Head Tide, Whitefield, and Alma are established along the riverbanks, where the water once powered local industry. To the west, the Eastern River flows past Dresden Mills, while the eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by a chain of water bodies including Pleasant Pond and the elongated Dyer Long Pond.
