Cousins River

Brown's Point is a promontory in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is located around 1.90 miles (3.06 km) southeast of Yarmouth Village at the confluence of Cousins River, to the north, and Royal River, to the south. It sits across Cousins River from Powell Point and across Royal River from Callen Point. The point is accessible via Bayview Street. The land was originally owned by English settler William Royall in the 16th century. Some of Royall's land was later transferred to Moses Brown, a farmer in whose family it remained for over three hundred years. The Browns' farmland was sold off in 1977, creating the Brown's Point Road development.Mary Estelle Blake (1920–2017) was the last of the Brown family to live on the point.The 100 acres (40 ha) Bay View Farm Inn and Cottages stood on the point in the early 20th century. It burned down in 2008.

Callen Point is a promontory in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is located 2.2 miles (3.5 km) east-southeast of Yarmouth Village, on the southern banks of the Royal River, east of Larrabee's Landing and near the river's confluence with Casco Bay. It was an important defensive point during King Philip's War and King William's War of the 17th century. Its name is believed to derive from Calling Point, due to locals calling across to the garrison for assistance. It is named Cuttinge Pinte in the York County deeds.

White's Cove is a cove in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is around 0.53 miles (0.85 km) across at its widest point, in the inner waters of Casco Bay. It sits directly north of the Ellis C. Snodgrass Memorial Bridge. Whites Cove Road, off Gilman Road, leads to the cove.

Gilman Road is a prominent street in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It runs for about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) from Lafayette Street (State Route 88) in the northwest to the Ellis C. Snodgrass Memorial Bridge at White's Cove in the southeast. At the bridge, which connects the Yarmouth mainland to Cousins Island, the road becomes Cousins Road. One of the first streets laid out in the town, it was later named for Tristram Gilman, the fourth pastor of the Meetinghouse under the Ledge, which stood near the road's intersection with today's Lafayette Street between 1729 and 1836, prior to Yarmouth's secession from North Yarmouth. (He was also the original 1771 occupant of what is now known as the Gilman Manse, which is located at 463 Lafayette Street.) A 2021 Historic Preservation Advisory Ordinance identified ten Local Historic Landmarks, three Historic Districts and three Historic Objects. Many are located in the Gilman Road and Pleasant Street areas, which leads to the possibility of it being a future historic district. Yarmouth's West Side Trail crosses Gilman Road a short distance east of the Pioneer Cemetery.

The Ellis C. Snodgrass Memorial Bridge is located in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It spans a section of inner Casco Bay, connecting the mainland, at Drinkwater Point, to Cousins Island, at Sandy Point, hence it is also known as Cousins Island Bridge. It carries vehicular and pedestrian traffic of Cousins Street, and is the only means of access to and from Cousins Island, except by watercraft. The bridge, which is named for its constructor Ellis C. Snodgrass, was built in 1955 to assist with the construction of Wyman Power Station. The bridge was renovated in 1992. It is 1,999.1 feet (609.3 m) long and 22 feet (6.7 m) wide.As of 2016, an average of 2,240 vehicles crossed it daily.

Drinkwater Point is a promontory in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is located 2.35 miles (3.78 km) southeast of Yarmouth Village and looks out into inner Casco Bay and Cousins Island. Gilman Road leads to the point itself, where the Ellis C. Snodgrass Memorial Bridge connects mainland Yarmouth to Cousins Island. Drinkwater Point and nearby Drinkwater Point Road are named for Captain Theophilus Drinkwater, son of Allen and Hannah Drinkwater. His house, built in 1791 by his grandfather, Nicholas, stood at the southern end of Drinkwater Point Road.

Drinkwater Point Road is a prominent street in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. One of the first streets laid out in what was then coastal North Yarmouth, Province of Massachusetts Bay (when it was centered around the nearby Meetinghouse under the Ledge), it runs for about 0.45 miles (0.72 km) from Gilman Road in the north to Seaborne Drive in the south. Drinkwater Point faces Cousins Island, to which it is connected by the Ellis C. Snodgrass Memorial Bridge, and overlooks inner Casco Bay. Drinkwater Point Road and Drinkwater Point are named for Captain Theophilus Drinkwater, son of Allen and Hannah Drinkwater. His house, built in 1791 by his grandfather, Nicholas, stood at the southern end. Theophilus was married to Louisa Drinkwater. They had three children — Cornelia Amanda, Hannah Gray and Ferdinand. Theophilus, Louisa, Cornelia and Ferdinand are buried in the nearby Ledge Cemetery. Several other members of the notable seafaring Drinkwater family, lived nearby, including Captain Joseph Drinkwater. Captain James Munroe Bucknam's 115-acre farm extended west to where Bucknam Point Road is today. His house, today's number 215, was built in 1740 and later became the main building of the Homewood Inn development, whose property extended to the north and west. Bucknam wed Caroline Pierce Drinkwater in 1843 and they had five children together — Nicholas, Clarence Leland, Caroline Augusta, Clarence Loraine and James M., Jr. They were married for 26 years, until 1869, Caroline's death. He married for a second time the following year, to Abbie Frances Twombly, with whom he had another two children — Caroline Prince Bucknam and Albion Levi. Nine years after Abbie's death, he married for a third time, to Edna A. Marston, widow of William. Seaborne Drive and Channel Point Road appeared on a 1944 map of the town, as did Homewood Inn, which attracted guests from 1912 to 1992. The West Side Trail crosses the road near its intersection with Gilman Road.

Eartha is the world's largest rotating and revolving globe, located within the former headquarters of the DeLorme mapping corporation in Yarmouth, Maine.

The Mitchell garrison was an important building in what was, at the time, North Yarmouth, Province of Massachusetts Bay. Built in 1728, on the town's lot number 91, it stood at the rear of today's Holy Cross Cemetery on a bluff around 50 feet (15 m) immediately above the Royal River. It was used as a blockhouse, within a stockade, during the Indian wars. A tunnel was built from the home's cellar to the river. The dirt path that looks like it leads to the water is actually the town's original stage road, formerly lined with elm trees. As North Yarmouth's stagecoach travel increased in popularity, the stockade was removed and the home was enlarged to accommodate overnight guests. The original structure was made of clapboard; the extension, added on the northern side, was clad with shingles. The home's first owner was Jacob Mitchell (c. 1672–1744), a dean and a founder of the nearby Meetinghouse under the Ledge, which stood between 1729 and 1836. His son, Jacob III, also became a deacon there. Mitchell's family lived in the house between around 1729 and 1799, when one of Mitchell's sons, David, owned it. The building later became the home of the Whitcombs, whose name is preserved on a street off Princes Point Road. It was demolished about 1900, and the farm land was purchased in 1916 to be replaced by the cemetery. The cemeteries occupy what was the northern end of today's Smith Street.

The Captain Joseph Drinkwater House is an historic home at 146 Gilman Road in Yarmouth, Maine, United States.

In 1902, Sumner Drinkwater, another sea captain, purchased the property. It was in his family's possession for 77 years.The home's English-style barn, which is connected to the main structure, also retains its architectural integrity.As of 2019, the property was the home of Jeremy Fischer, a member of the Maine House of Representatives.

Several prominent early business owners, sea captains and other townspeople are buried in the cemetery, including Leon Gorman, former president of L.L.Bean, which was founded by his grandfather, Leon Leonwood Bean.

A long driveway, which leads to another cemetery, separates the two. Of all burials at the cemetery between 2018 and 2020, 65% were burials of cremated remains.Holy Cross, a Catholic cemetery, is attached to Riverside to the east.
