The Jamestown Settlement is shown by "J" The Popham Colony was a short-lived English colonial settlement in North America that was founded in 1607 and located in the present-day town of Phippsburg, Maine near the mouth of the Kennebec River.

This survey made discovery of a magnificent harbor, and of the little river of Pemaquid, and the notable Sagadahoc, the great river of the Mavooshan landfall of the Gosnold voyage of 1602.
This landfall of hillocks, notable rivers, harbors, islands and mountains for landmarks, at once became a coveted point of commercial attraction and value to England, for 'siezen and possession,' where the forms and forces of the English common law should be applied in the planting homesteads of the English race in New England.
Such were the environments of Sagadahoc, the notable river, and Pemaquid, the quiet nook of a river in the land of Mavooshan, where existed the strangest fish-ponds of the sea, land-marked by Monhegan in the east, and the twinkling mountains of Aucocisco in the west, as described by Captain John Smith some ten years later.
