About this map

Saddleback Mountain and the prominent Chick Hill dominate the northern terrain of this Penobscot County landscape, providing a backdrop for the transition into the West Branch Union River valley. The map documents a sparsely settled region anchored by Archers Corners and a network of logging and access roads such as Bradbury Brook Rd and Hopkins Pond Rd. Notable landmarks include the Chick Hill Lookout Tower and the Twin Bridges crossing.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds including Amherst Cemetery, Hadley Cemetery, and Frost Cemetery. The hydrography of the area is particularly dense, with numerous glacial features such as Hopkins Pond, Upper Springy Pond, and Cedar Swamp Pond dotting the woods. The presence of The Ledges and Eagle Bluff highlights the distinct elevation changes characteristic of this part of Maine.
