2018 Map of Bucksport

About this map

The Penobscot River and its complex network of inlets and islands define this coastal Maine landscape, where the town of Bucksport sits across from Verona Island. The narrow crossing at Prospect Ferry is bridged by the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, connecting the mainland communities of Prospect and Verona. The terrain is characterized by significant elevations including Heagan Mtn and Mt Tuck, which rise above the surrounding tidal flats and marshes of Marsh Bay. Numerous small graveyards are scattered across the quadrangle, such as Silver Lake Cem and Whitman Cem, providing a detailed record of the area's local lineage and settlement patterns. To the south, the village of Sandy Point sits near the confluence of the river and the Eastern Channel, illustrating the enduring importance of these waterways for navigation and local commerce in the modern era.
