2024 Map of Bucksport

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the dominant geographical artery here, separating the steep terrain of Waldo Co from the developed riverfront of Bucksport in Hancock Co. On the western bank, the landscape is defined by significant elevations like Mt Tuck and Heagan Mtn, while the eastern shore centers on the community of Bucksport and the adjacent Verona Island. The map meticulously records numerous family and community burial sites, including the The Narrows Cem near Sandy Point and the Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Cem overlooking the town. Historic transit patterns are evident in the orientation of FT Knox RD and the location of Prospect Ferry, reflecting the long-standing maritime and coastal connections between these shorelines. Local water bodies such as Silver Lake and Marsh Bay provide further detail on the coastal drainage and wetland character of the region.
