1984 Map of Epping

About this map

Great Heath dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Maine landscape, where the Pleasant River snakes through a complex network of wetlands and islands like Pine Island. This 1984 survey reveals a transition from the vast peatlands and Blueberry Barrens to the small village clusters of Epping, Georgetown, and Tibbettstown. The geography is defined by its water and woods, showing the influence of the Maine Central rail line and the Harrington River on local orientation. Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including Malley Hill Cem and Forest Hills Cem, alongside the Little River Ch at Little River Corner. The map captures the working landscape of Washington County, from the Silica Ponds to the high ground of Pea Ridge, before modern development altered these traditional township boundaries.
