About this map

Green Lake and the rugged surrounding heights of Eagle Bluff and Big Hill dominate this Hancock County landscape, where the town of Ellsworth borders a network of glacial waters. The area is defined by its deep connectivity between the land and its lakes, from the southern reach of Branch Lake to the secluded Hatcase Pond in the north. Settlement is concentrated in pockets such as Lucerne-in-Maine and Wilson Corner, while historical markers like the Pine Trail Cem and Wilson Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogists and local historians.

A network of fire roads and local routes, including Main Rd and Mountainy Pond Rd, navigates the complex terrain between Phillips Lake and smaller basins like Goose Pond. The presence of several bogs, such as Mann Bog and Coon Bog, alongside numerous brooks like Kidder Brook, illustrates the active drainage patterns of this lake-strewn region. This survey captures a balance between established local communities and the persistent wilderness of the Maine woods.
