The Union River serves as the central artery for this part of Hancock County, flowing south from the sprawling waters of Graham Lake through the community of Ellsworth Falls and into the heart of Ellsworth. The landscape is defined by its industrial and maritime history, where the river's descent creates natural power sites like those near Leonard Lake. Beyond the urban center, the map reveals a network of smaller settlements and junctions, including Washington Junction and the rural enclave of Joyville. For those exploring local family histories, several significant burial sites are documented, most notably the Old Burying Ground Cem near the town center and the Fullerton Milliken Cem further south. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of Cushmans Meadow to prominent elevations like Watts Hill and Beckwith Hill, illustrating the varied geography of the Maine coast's interior.
