About this map

Union and South Union serve as the primary hubs in this inland Maine landscape, situated along a chain of significant water bodies including Sennebec Pond, Seven Tree Pond, and Crawford Pond. The territory is defined by a dense network of historic crossroads, each marked by family-named landmarks like Manks Corner, Whitney Corner, and Benner Corner. These intersections, alongside the Knox Co Lincoln Co boundary line, reflect a long-standing pattern of rural settlement where small communities formed around key junctions and local resources.

Elevations such as Clarry Hill, Shepards Hill, and Barrett Hill rise above the river valleys, where the Saint George River and Medomak River drain the terrain. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several burial sites, including Village Cem and Post Sunny View Cem. The transition from the more developed village centers to the outlying areas of North Waldoboro and White Oak Corner illustrates the traditional Maine balance of clustered town centers and dispersed agricultural or wooded parcels.
