1944 Map of Blue Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The complex shoreline of Penobscot Bay and Blue Hill Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the maritime character of mid-century Hancock County is evident in every cove and peninsula. Along the southern edge, the Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge provides a critical link across the Eggemoggin Reach to Little Deer Isle. The interior landscape is marked by prominent elevations like Caterpillar Hill and Wallamatogus Mt, while the settlements of Blue Hill, Brooklin, and Sedgwick serve as the primary hubs for the surrounding rural roads. Local history is deeply embedded in the map's fine details, from the Millstream Mills in the north to small family landmarks like Sargentville and Grays Corner. The distribution of Mt Rest Cem and several community schools, such as Grays Corner Sch, reflects the dispersed but organized settlement pattern typical of the era before modern consolidation.
