About this map

Beech Hill Pond and its many coves dominate this part of Hancock County, surrounded by a complex network of glacial features and freshwater systems. The settlement of Otis sits at the northern end of the pond, while Mariaville is located further east along the banks of the Union River. This landscape is defined by its numerous small bodies of water, including Youngs Pond, Rifle Pond, and Wormwood Pond, which drain through various brooks toward the expansive Graham Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks, including Pyles Cemetery, Beech Hill Cemetery, and Greenwood Cemetery. Coastal and island features such as Junk of Pork Rock, Two Bush Rock, and Porcupine Ledge illustrate the intricate shoreline of the area's larger lakes. The southern portion of the map is home to the Green Lake National Fish Hatchery near Lakewood, showing the region's managed aquatic resources near the Green Lake Dam.
