One town over from Norridgewock (once a great manufacturing center, now barely a bump on the river, as it were)is Skowhegan, where we lived when we first moved to Maine and which may have the worlds largest wooden indian. Of particular interest to name and word collectors are the rivers and ponds (which in most places would be lakes)and the lakes, one of which borders on an inland sea ... and the town associated with such.
For example: Pemadumcook Lake Sysladobsis Lake Nicatou Lake Baskahegan Lake Mattawamkeag River Wytopitlock ( a town) Matawaska (a town) Seboomook Lake Squa Pon (lake) Meddybemps ... and the list goes on.
