About this map

Sullivan Harbor and the surrounding coastal villages of Hancock County are captured here during a period of established maritime and inland connectivity. The landscape is defined by the intricate waterways of Taunton Bay, Hog Bay, and Donnell Pond, which provided both resources and challenges for local transit. The Maine Central Railroad cuts across the northern terrain, serving settlements like Franklin and East Franklin, while the Hancock-Sullivan Bridge links the peninsula at Waukeag Neck to the western shore.

Evidence of the area's local history is scattered throughout, from the numerous family and community burial grounds like York Hill Cem and Blaisdell Cem to the industrial roots seen at various Quarries and Gravel Pits. Educational and civic life is centered around landmarks such as Sumner High Sch and Mountain View Jr High School, while the shoreline remains busy with features like Shipyard Point and Preble Cove, reflecting a community deeply tied to its coastal geography.
