About this map

Green Lake and Phillips Lake dominate this inland Hancock County landscape, where the granite peaks of Big Hill and Eagle Bluff rise sharply above the water. At the start of the 1980s, the resort character of Lucerne-In-Maine is well-established, featuring a Golf Course and a network of secondary roads carved into the hillside. The map traces the rugged divide between the Penobscot and Union River watersheds, showing a transition from the structured residential clusters near Wilson Corner to the dense, pond-scattered terrain of Dedham and Otis.

Local landmarks such as Our Lady of the Lake Chapel and the Radio Tower (WDEA) on Bald Mtn provide specific points of interest for local history researchers. The presence of several smaller water bodies like Hatcase Pond, Mountainy Pond, and the secluded Goose Pond illustrates the glacial topography that has long defined the region's recreation and timber history. Educational and community roots are marked at Holbrook Sch and the Eastern Cem, documenting the earlier rural footprint before modern expansion reached Ellsworth.
