About this map

The Union River serves as the central artery for this region of Hancock County, flowing south from Graham Lake through the industrial and residential heart of Ellsworth. The map documents the city's development as a regional hub, showing the concentration of civic life around Leonard Lake and the convergence of major transit routes at Washington Junction. To the north, Ellsworth Falls marks a distinct riverside community, while smaller settlements like Joyville and Fletchers Landing appear along the peripheral rural roads.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous burial sites, ranging from the central Old Burying Ground Cem to family-named plots such as Mackenzie, Woodbine, and Jordan. The landscape is a complex network of coastal lowlands and hills, including Beckwith Hill and Watts Hill, interspersed with water bodies like Keisers Pond and Boggy Brook, illustrating the transition from the settled river valley to the wooded interior of Maine.
