About this map

The Union River and the northern reaches of Graham Lake define the eastern edge of this Hancock County landscape, where the town lines of Amherst, Clifton, Mariaville, and Otis converge. This 1988 provisional edition captures a region characterized by a dense network of glacial water bodies, from the central basin of Hopkins Pond to the chain of Upper Springy Pond, Middle Springy Pond, and Lower Springy Pond. Significant vertical relief is marked by prominent peaks such as Chick Hill, Peaked Mountain, and Saddleback Mountain, which rise sharply above the brooks and meadowlands.

Local settlements are sparse, centered on the crossroads at Archers Corners and the community of Goodwin near the Penobscot County line. For those tracking land use and rural geography, the map reveals industrial traces like several Gravel Pits and the Roadside Park along the western roadway. The intricate drainage patterns, including Jellison Meadow Brook and Frost Brook, illustrate the complex hydrology feeding into the Union River system.
