2011 Map of Molasses Pond

About this map

Molasses Pond and the surrounding Hancock County wetlands dominate this landscape, reflecting a region defined by its complex glacial hydrology and remote character. The map identifies several smaller water bodies such as Scammon Pond, Abrams Pond, and Narraguagus Lake, which are interconnected by a network of drainage ways including Bog River and Macomber Mill Stream. Notable for family historians, the Crimmins Cemetery sits near the western shore of the pond, adjacent to Crimmins Island. The local road system, including Molasses Pond Rd and Sugar Hill Rd, connects scattered points of interest like the Molasses Pond Boat Launch and the small settlement at Chez Vent. This map details a terrain of low ridges and knolls, such as Myrick Ridge and Beech Knoll, which separate the various brook and river basins that feed into the larger pond systems.
