About this map

Eggemoggin Reach and Blue Hill Bay define the maritime character of this Hancock County peninsula, where small coastal settlements like Brooklin and Haven are linked by winding roads such as Me-175. The landscape is a complex network of points and coves, including Harriman Point and Flye Point, reflecting a long history of seafaring and coastal living.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the distribution of family and community burial sites, from the Old Birchland Cem near North Brooklin to the Burying Ground along Ridge Road. The map documents the persistent settlement patterns of Sedgwick and North Sedgwick, where the geography is shaped by water bodies like the Benjamin River and Salt Pond. This record of the Maine coast preserves the names of small islands and ledges, such as Chatto Island and Herrick Ledges, that have long guided local navigation.
