About this map

The Union River serves as the central artery of this landscape, carving through the heart of Ellsworth and feeding into Leonard Lake. This modern topographic perspective reveals a complex network of coastal and inland geography where the river's path has historically defined the region's development. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the numerous burial grounds documented here, from the Old Burying Ground Cem near the Hancock County Courthouse to family-named sites like MacKenzie Cem and the Fullerton Milliken Cem.

The landscape transitions from the urban center of Ellsworth to the outlying settlements of Ellsworth Falls and Washington Junction. To the north, the Green Lake National Fish Hatchery sits near the shores of Green Lake, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the broad waters of Graham Lake. Research opportunities abound for those tracing the infrastructure of the Maine coast, including the proximity of Mount Desert Ferry and the various brooks like Boggy Brook and Card Brook that drain the timbered hills.
