2011 Map of Hancock

About this map

Taunton Bay and the Skillings River dominate this coastal landscape, where the tides reach deep into the interior of Hancock County. The settlement at Hancock serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Egypt and West Franklin. The map reveals a network of coastal roads like Harvey Point Rd and Cemetery Rd that connect family-named landmarks along the jagged shoreline. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Abbott Cemetery near Georges Pond and the McFarland Hill Cemetery further inland. The transition from the dense drainage patterns of Egypt Stream and Kilkenny Stream to the expansive waters of Egypt Bay illustrates the distinct coastal geography of the Maine shoreline in the early twenty-first century.
