About this map

The Royal River winds through the heart of Yarmouth, a landscape defined by its transition from wooded uplands to the tidal reach of Casco Bay. This coastal Maine community is characterized by a mix of historic settlement patterns and modern suburban growth, featuring numerous small hamlets such as Crockett Corner, Sodom, and Cumberland Foreside. Industrial history is evident in the water management structures along the river, including the East Elm Street Dam and Bridge Street Dam.

Further inland, the geography is punctuated by the curious Desert of Maine and several hills like Wescutogo Hill. The coastal interface is particularly detailed, showing the intricate shoreline from Broad Cove to the bridge-connected communities of Cousins Island and Littlejohn Island. Multiple family-named cemeteries, such as Merrill Cemetery and Webster Cemetery, offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing the region's long-established lineages.
