The Union River flows south through the heart of Hancock County, powering the early industrial development of Ellsworth and Ellsworth Falls. In this pre-war landscape, the Maine Central RR serves as a critical transportation corridor, branching at Washington Junction to connect the coastal interior with the wider region. The map reveals a network of rural settlements and remote townships like Mariaville and Waltham, where small communities are anchored by landmarks such as the No 8 Plantation School and the Franklin Road or North Hancock PO.
