1904 Map of Bluehill

About this map

Bluehill Harbor and its surrounding coastal peninsulas are captured here in a period defined by maritime commerce and local industry. The map illustrates a landscape of established villages such as Sargentville, Sedgwick, and Haven, all connected by a web of coastal roads and a designated Steamboat Route threading through Eggemoggin Reach. Inland, the topography rises toward Montgomery Mt and Wallamatogus Mt, while the Bluehill Mineral Spring suggests the era's interest in local natural resources. The mapping of Mills Pt and various gravel deposits indicates the early industrial footprint on the coast. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named coastal landmarks like Johnson Point, Byard Pt, and Grindle Pt, which speak to the deep-seated settlement patterns of Hancock County at the start of the 20th century.
