About this map

Sedgwick Ridge defines the western heights of this coastal Maine landscape, overlooking the intricate waterways of Eggemoggin Reach. The area is characterized by a high density of wetlands and named marshes, such as Duck Marsh and the Little Heath, which separate the coastal settlements from the inland forests. The maritime character of the region is evident in the cluster of points and coves along Blue Hill Bay, where numerous small islands like Carleton Island and Joes Island dot the shoreline.

Historic centers such as Brooklin, Haven, and West Brooklin are well-established by this era, connected by roads that wind between landmarks like the Mt Ephraim Cem and the Meeting House. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the Rural Cem near Sedgwick highlights the local industry and genealogy of the peninsula. To the east, Blue Hill Neck separates the reach from the larger bay, offering a detailed view of family-named features like Harriman Point and Means Point.
