3 "Hidden" Gems revealed this week on Google Maps

My last three adds to Google Maps were interesting to me personally, as they took place close to both my hometown and in the area I spent a lot of time in growing up: The family Camp in the  Lee and Springfield region in Northern Maine. Like Mattawamkeag, there is a lot of history in this area. Some good, some bad and mostly hidden. You have to LOOK for it, makes me wonder how much has lost over time. 

1. Harris Family Takeout in Lee, Maine. This one was a personal victory for me, because since I ate there last summer, I have tried numerous times to add them to Google Maps with no success. Until now. They are a great takeout and very busy. So the edit / addition finally went thru. 
2. Next, Cole’s Landing, also in Lee, was a special add to me. I must have rode by the “boat landing” sign on my way to camp 1,000 times. Both as a kid and recently, saying “One day, I’m going to check that out and see if it’s on Google Maps.” Well, it wasn’t but it is now and it is a terrific landing and park. Super clean and well set up.
3. Finally, the last one is my favorite and one of the reasons I started doing MaG in the first place. Cushman Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Maine. According to my guide, it is a Civil War Era cemetery that was discovered by accident while a road was being built. And they preserved it, they have a nice sign and the town maintains the small cemetery. I think that is pretty cool. AND you can’t really reach it by a regular road, you have to be walking or by four-wheeler.

Now I plan on doing FULL reviews/profiles on all three locations. But I’m really excited to dive into whatever research I can find about the Cushman Ridge Cemetery (Also known as the Hanscom-McGinley Cemetery). And see? Early, simple googling revealed that much, it was once called by a different name. And look at the photo below of what “might” be the site from find-a-grave.com. Maybe it did before they started to preserve the cemetery. Cause it looks nothing like that today. That’s all and as always, thanks for joining me on My Adventures with Google Maps. 

Can you see the "story" in this picture? I see potentially dozens.
