Geography

The Newcastle CDP is in the eastern part of the town of Newcastle in central Lincoln County. The CDP is on the west bank of the Damariscotta River, which forms the boundary with the town of Damariscotta. The CDP extends south down the river to a location north of Little Point, and north upriver and along Salt Bay to Damariscotta Mills and the outlet of Damariscotta Lake. Starting at its southern point on the Damariscotta River, the western boundary of the CDP follows Schrafft Road, River Road, an unnamed stream, a powerline, Old County Road, Kavanagh Road, Academy Road and Pond Road (Maine State Route 215) to Damariscotta Lake.[2]

US Route 1 passes through the community, leading northeast 26 miles (42 km) to Rockland and southwest 18 miles (29 km) to Bath. Portland is 52 miles (84 km) to the southwest. U.S. Route 1 Business splits off US 1 to run through the centers of Newcastle and Damariscotta as Main Street. Maine Route 215 has its southern terminus at US 1 Business in Newcastle and leads north 16 miles (26 km) to ME 32 in the northern part of the town of Jefferson.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the Newcastle CDP has a total area of 2.8 square miles (7.2 km2), of which 2.2 square miles (5.6 km2) are land and 0.62 square miles (1.6 km2), or 22.41%, are water.[3]

gollark: Ah, it looks like Planck's law is what the graph is showing.
gollark: > If you make the temperature higher, then the frequency increases. No, you keep ignoring me on this.> Thus meaning the amount of photons emited is related/proportional to the temperature increasing.Also no, the amount is a different thing.
gollark: Also wrong, objects emit multiple frequencies at once and the relationship is more complex than that.
gollark: The energy is a property of the photon similarly to frequency and stuff, the energy doesn't have frequency either, but can I just say that trying to brute-force your way to coherent-sounding wording is not a path to great understanding.
gollark: Why does the energy have a wavelength now?
