About this map

Blue Hill stands as the geographical centerpiece of this coastal Hancock County landscape, where the town's harbor-oriented settlement meets a network of interior ponds and meadows. The map reveals a community deeply tied to its maritime and geological heritage, featuring the Blue Hill Mineral Spring and the coastal reach of Blue Hill Harbor. Along the jagged shoreline, family and local history is anchored at sites like Steamboat Field Point and Kneisel Point, while the transition from saltwater to freshwater is marked by Blue Hill Falls.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, including the Early Settlers Cem near the town center and the Curtis Cove Cem further east. The map detail extends to the northern reaches of Toddy Pond and the numerous named bogs and meadows, such as Floods Meadow and Daniel Carter Bog, which characterize the drainage patterns of the Maine coast. This survey provides a precise account of the road network and named points that define the modern boundaries of East Blue Hill and Surry.
