2014 Map of Hopkins Pond

About this map

Hopkins Pond and the surrounding woodlands of eastern Maine define this landscape, where the boundary between Penobscot and Hancock counties cuts through the interior. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Chick Hill, Saddleback Mtn, and Peaked Mtn, providing a look at the glaciated topography that shapes the local watershed. Historically, the area is connected by the Airline Rd, a significant corridor that passes through the settlement at Archers Corners. Water features dominate the southern and eastern portions of the map, including the West Branch Union River as it flows toward Graham Lake. Local genealogy and land use are evidenced by several small burying grounds, including Amherst Cem, Hadley Cem, and Frost Cem, along with landmarks like Twin Bridges and Goodwin Bridge which facilitate movement across the river and brooks.
