SHEPHERD'S COVE AND THE SMALL PLATS AT THE TOWN'S NORTHEAST
The town's newest named ground gathers where the creek meets the river: Shepherd's Cove, 13 parcels, is the largest of the late subdivisions at the Baugo Bay side; Oak Brook Estates (3), Chestnut Acres (2) and the Baugo Bay Minor Subdivision (2) stand at their true size beside it — the minor-subdivision era's small plats, each a handful of lots cut from farm ground at the town's northeast edge, in the orbit of Ferrettie-Baugo Creek County Park across the township ground east of the line. The bay they are named for is The Land's record (its making undated and unproven on the present record); the neighborhoods' fact is simpler — that the town's platting, which began with a mill-race plat in 1837 and ran through family additions for a century, ends its roster with cove, brook and bay names sold on the water the first plat tried to harness. Maloney Acres (3) and Wilson Realty's Peony Avenue Minor belong to the same late, small scale, on the town's interior ground.
