About this map

Sullivan Harbor and the complex tidal waters of Hog Bay anchor this coastal landscape, where the rugged shoreline of Hancock meets the interior peaks of Schoodic Mtn and Fiery Mtn. This modern survey documents the established village centers of Sullivan, Franklin, and Waukeag, showing a transition from the salt-water economy of the coast to the forested inland ponds like Georges Pond and Flanders Pond. The area is characterized by its numerous family and community burial grounds, including York Hill Cem, Blaisdell Cem, and Salter Cem, which provide a detailed genealogical record of the region's long-standing residents.

Transportation corridors like Us-1 and the Hancock-Sullivan Bridge link these coastal communities, crossing the narrowing waters at Ferry Point and Sullivan Falls. The map details various points and necks, such as Crabtree Neck and Waukeag Neck, which define the intricate shape of the Maine coastline. Inland, the landscape is dotted with smaller water bodies and streams like Card Mill Stream and Johnnys Brook, supporting the rural character that persists alongside the historic maritime settlements.
