1904 Map of Bluehill

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

The granite heights of Blue Hill and Wallamatogus Mt anchor this coastal landscape, which was surveyed at the start of the 1900s. The region is defined by a dense network of maritime settlements including Sargentville, Sedgwick, and Brooklin, all connected by the intricate waterways of Eggemoggin Reach and the Benjamin River. A notable detail of the era's local economy and travel is the Steamboat route navigating past Long Island and Carleton Neck to reach the protected waters of Bluehill Harbor. From the Mineral Spring near North Bluehill to the mills at Mills Pt, the map reveals a working coast where topography dictated the placement of every village and landing. Genealogists will find interest in the distinct naming of coastal neighborhoods such as South Brooksville and North Brooklin, reflecting the importance of small, localized harbor communities before the age of modern highways.
