About this map

Hopkins Pond and a dense network of smaller glacial water bodies dominate this interior Maine landscape along the border of Penobscot and Hancock counties. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Chick Hill, Peaked Mtn, and Bald Mtn, which provide dramatic relief against the low-lying wetlands of Cedar Swamp Pond and Oran Pond. The West Branch Union River flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, crossed by the Goodwin Bridge.

Settlement is concentrated around the crossroads at Archers Corners and along Old State Rte 9. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial sites are documented, including the Amherst Cem, Hadley Cem, and Frost Cem. The map reveals a complex system of forestry and access routes, including Trout Pond Rd and numerous fire roads that navigate the ridges of Alden Ridge and Nats Ridge, illustrating the modern management of this timber-rich region.
