2018 Map of Brooklin

About this map

The coastal peninsula between Blue Hill Bay and Eggeemoggin Reach is defined by a dense network of tidal coves and interior wetlands. Settlements like North Brooklin, West Brooklin, and South Blue Hill are connected by winding coastal roads such as High St and Hales Hill Rd, reflecting a landscape tied closely to the water. The interior topography is marked by significant marshlands including the Great Heath, Black Swamp, and Duck Marsh, which separate the coastal villages. Family history is well-preserved across the peninsula in numerous burial sites, from the Ridge Road Burying Ground in the north to the Freethy Cem near the southern tip at Naskeag Point Rd. These small cemeteries and isolated points like Flye Point and Harriman Point illustrate the decentralized, maritime-oriented settlement pattern of Hancock County's shoreline.
