1981 Map of Beech Hill Pond

About this map

Beech Hill Pond and the surrounding glacial highlands of Hancock County define this 1981 survey. The landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology, where Floods Pond and the West Branch Union River frame the settlements of Otis and Mariaville. A rural economy is visible through the concentration of gravel pits and the presence of the Green Lake National Fish Hatchery at the southern margin. Notable local landmarks include the Beech Hill Sch, the Greenwood Cem, and several named points such as Grotto Hill and Salisbury Point. The map provides a detailed view of the era's transport, featuring a small Landing Field near Ellsworth and the Town Landing on the Union River, reflecting the region's reliance on both aviation and waterways during the early 1980s.
