About this map

The Saco River winds through this Maine landscape, creating a complex corridor of wetlands and backwaters including Boston Pond, Horseshoe Pond, and Pequawket Pond. The settlement pattern centers on the village of Denmark, situated at the southern end of Moose Pond, and the town of Hiram to the south. Numerous smaller communities like East Denmark, West Denmark, and Heads Corner are connected by a network of rural roads that skirt the base of prominent rises such as Pickett Hill and Allen Mountain.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of family-named burial sites. From the Roberts Cemetery and Harnden Cemetery in the north to the Watson Cemetery and Wentworth Cemetery near the southern bend of the river, these landmarks reveal the deep ancestral roots of the local population. The map also documents the hydraulic infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the Moose Pond Dam, Hancock Pond Dam, and Barker Pond Dam, which manage the region's abundant water resources.
