Despite Wiwurna’s demands that the English cease building forts, this plan of the Kennebec River made by the Plymouth Company shows forts at Brunswick, Woolwich, and Richmond Fort. Houses dot the mouth of the Sagadahoc River and Merrymeeting Bay, near present-day Bath.

The traditional planting ground at the confluence with “Amosequanty River” (Sandy River) and the Wabanaki/French mission fort at Norridgewock are shown on the very top of this map.
