THE BOOTHBAY LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Midcoast setting.
Boothbay town has 22 square miles of land in Lincoln County. Its Census boundary intersects Midcoast, within Acadian Plains and Hills.
Forested plains and hills contain numerous glacial lakes. Spruce-fir lowlands and hardwood-covered hills create a northern landscape that is generally gentler than the highlands to the west.
Regional context: Acadian Plains and Hills ↗ · Classification from the Census boundary intersection
The Census reference point falls outside the regional layer’s mapped footprint. This classification uses the actual place-boundary intersection, with Midcoast representing its largest mapped overlap. Shorelines and dataset boundaries can differ.
Boothbay and Lincoln County
Boothbay is associated with Lincoln County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Boothbay by land and water
The Census records 49.8 square miles of water within Boothbay, or 69.4% of its total area. It is 34.6 percentage points higher than the 34.8% recorded for Lincoln County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
