About this map

The Maine Central RR serves as a vital artery through this coastal Maine landscape, connecting Ellsworth and Ellsworth Falls to the broader regional network at Washington Junction. The map details a period of established rural infrastructure, noting several educational landmarks such as the No 8 Plantation School, McFarland School, and Morrison School.

Settlements like Mariaville, Waltham, and Eastbrook are positioned amidst a complex system of water bodies, including Green Lake, Beech Hill Pond, and Branch Lake. The coastal geography is finely articulated along Egypt Bay and the Skillings River, featuring numerous family-named points like Butler Pt and Hatch Pt. This survey captures the transition from the river-fed industries of the interior to the maritime communities of Hancock and South Hancock.
