1988 Map of The Horseback

About this map

The Horseback forms a striking glacial esker that snakes across this Hancock County landscape, defining the local geography as it runs parallel to Sunkhaze Stream. This 1980s survey captures a largely undeveloped wilderness at the intersection of Greenfield, Milford, and Bradley. The map is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, from the secluded Crocker Pond and Pickerel Pond in the north to the expansive East Great Works Pond and Trout Pond at the base of Trout Pond Mtn. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit near Madden Hill, while the interior remains accessible primarily via unimproved roads like Saddleback Bk. Significant elevations such as Bald Bluff Mtn and Bear Den Hill provide clear reference points for those studying the physical evolution of this Maine timber and wetlands region.
