Princes Point

Sunset Point is a promontory in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is located 2.65 miles (4.26 km) south of Yarmouth Village and looks out into inner Casco Bay, marking the eastern side of Broad Cove. Sunset Road leads to the point itself. It begins at an intersection with Princes Point Road, Battery Point Lane and Nubbin Reach. In the early 1880s, the adjacent (to the east) Princes Point began to develop as a summer colony. For several years it had become a favorite camping spot for the villagers and the inhabitants of the inland parts of the town who came here for clam bakes and picnics. The town road ended at the John Allen Drinkwater barn, and here a large gate opened into the pasture which included the two points.Around 1884, the first to person to own a lot on at Sunset Point was Samuel O. Carruthers.

Broad Cove is a prominent cove in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long and around 1 mile (1.6 km) wide at its mouth at inner Casco Bay. It sits between Sunset Point, at the southern end of Yarmouth, and the eastern edge of Cumberland Foreside. State Route 88 (formerly the Atlantic Highway) runs beside the cove (as Foreside Road south of the Yarmouth line and Lafayette Street beyond it).

Princes Point Road is a prominent street in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It runs for about 1.93 miles (3.11 km) from Lafayette Street (State Route 88) in the north to Sunset Point Road in the south. It was one of the first streets laid out in the town when it was centered around the Meetinghouse under the Ledge in the 18th century. Gilman Road, another of the early roads in the area, intersects Princes Point Road near its northern end. In the late 19th century, trolleycars of the short-lived Portland and Yarmouth Electric Railway passed Princes Point Road en route to Yarmouth's village center after the town's population had moved away from the Broad Cove area. Yarmouth's West Side Trail crosses Princes Point Road between Gilman Road and Morton Road. The road is named for the Paul Prince (1720–1809), who served for Massachusetts in the American Revolutionary War.

Homewood Inn is a former inn that was in business in Yarmouth, Maine, from 1912 to 1992. Although the buildings are still standing, they are now used as private residential units.The original "Homewood" was built in the 18th century by "rugged coastmen."

Wyman Power Station (known colloquially as CMP) is an oil-fired power station in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. Situated on the town's Cousins Island, the facility was completed in 1957. It is named for William Frizzell Wyman, the former president of Central Maine Power (CMP) and the son of its co-founder, Walter Scott Wyman.The facility has four steam turbine units, the most recent of which, with its 421-foot chimney, went online in 1978.Because it burns costly Number 6 residual fuel, the plant has largely been used as a peaking power plant, fired up only when another big plant goes offline, or when very hot or cold weather spikes the region's demand for energy. With $2 million in annual revenue for the town, it is Yarmouth's largest property taxpayer. In the 1980s, it paid half of the town's tax burden; as of 2012, however, it covered less than 8%.A 16.2 megawatt battery storage capacity was added to the station in 2016.

Duck Cove is a cove in Cumberland, Maine, United States. It is part of the larger Broad Cove, which sits between Sunset Point, at the southern end of Yarmouth, and the eastern edge of Cumberland Foreside. State Route 88 (formerly the Atlantic Highway) runs beside the cove (as Foreside Road south of the Yarmouth line and Lafayette Street beyond it). Duck Farm, owned by Walter Gendall, a captain in both King Phillip's War and King William's War, incorporated Duck Cove. The dry-stone boundary wall on its western and northern sides is still intact. This land is now partly traversed by a connecting trail system as part of an easement arranged by Chebeague & Cumberland Land Trust with local property owners.

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.
