1944 Map of Blue Hill

About this map

Blue Hill stands as the central landmark of this coastal Hancock County landscape, overseeing a complex network of bays, ponds, and small villages during the early 1940s. The region is defined by its maritime orientation, with settlements like Brooksville, Sedgwick, and Brooklin scattered along the jagged shoreline of the Bagaduce River and the Eggemoggin Reach. Notable local infrastructure includes the Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge and the Fair Grounds just outside the main village of Blue Hill. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites such as Pine Grove Cem and Forest Home Cem, alongside small rural institutions like the Grays Corner Sch and Brooklin Sch. The interior terrain is a mix of high points like Wallamatagus Mt and significant wetland features including Toddy Pond and the Wight Heath Peat Bog.
