2011 Map of Brandy Pond

About this map

Thirty-Nine Tannery sits at the junction of Buffalo Stream and Little Buffalo Stream, marking a site of industrial activity amidst a landscape dominated by water and high ground. This area of Hancock County is characterized by a dense network of waterways, including Brandy Pond and Main Stream, which drainage patterns suggest have historically shaped the local movement and economy. To the north and west, elevations rise toward Lord Mountain, Buffalo Hill, and Baker Hill, while Spaulding Ridge defines the southwestern terrain. The 2011 survey records a remote territory of the Maine interior where named brooks like Pug Hole Brook, Runt Brook, and Scotch Brook feed into larger systems, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the region. Local historians and genealogists can use these specific water and terrain markers to pinpoint historical family landholdings and small-scale operations that once relied on these natural resources.
