History of Embden, Maine |
 | | Embden lies in the southern part of Somerset County, on the west bank of the Kennebec River, about 40 miles north of Lugusta. |
 | | The sheets of water are Embden Pond, near the middle of the town, having an area of 1,535 acres; Hancock Pond, at the north-west corner, containing 325 acres; and Sandy and Fahi ponds, smaller, connected with Fahi, in the south-eastern part of the town, with several still smaller. |
 | | On the outlet of Embden Pond were a few years since two saw-mills for long and short lumber, and a grist-mill, turning-lathes, threshing-machine, etc. There are other powers and mills on Martin and Mill streams, outlets of ponds in Concord, and on Seven Mile Brook. |
