About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery of this coastal Maine landscape, dividing Waldo and Hancock counties while connecting the historic waterfront of Bucksport to the surrounding hills. This area is defined by its deep water access and strategic geography, where the river narrows between Prospect Ferry and the northern tip of Verona Island. The town of Bucksport is densely mapped with streets like Main St and Central St, alongside numerous burial grounds including Oak Hill Cem and Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Cem.

Across the water, the terrain rises sharply into prominent peaks such as Heagan Mtn and Mt Tuck. Further south, the map reveals a more pastoral character in Sandy Point and South Orland, where the Eastern Channel and Orland River border the eastern side of the island. Genealogists will find a high concentration of family and community landmarks, from Stowers Meadow to the Whitman Cem, reflecting a long-established settlement pattern along these tidal reaches.
