About this map

Taunton Bay and Hog Bay dominate this coastal Maine landscape, where the tides shape the geography of the Sullivan and Franklin shorelines. The 1980s infrastructure shows a region transitioning from its industrial roots, marked by the Maine Central Railroad and numerous quarries, toward a residential and educational hub featuring Mountain View Jr High School and Sumner High Sch. Significant topographic landmarks like Schoodic Mtn and Baker Hill overlook a network of coastal settlements including Sorrento and West Sullivan.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, from Bayview Cem near Franklin to York Hill Cem and the Simpson Cem further south. The map documents the physical footprint of the area's granite and gravel industries, alongside the vital Hancock-Sullivan Bridge connecting the peninsulas. From the wetlands of Schoodic Bog to the deep waters of Donnell Pond, the survey captures the complex intersection of land and sea.
