About this map

The Saint George River flows through a chain of major water bodies in this Knox County landscape, connecting Sennebec Pond in the north to Round Pond and Seven Tree Pond at the heart of the region. The settlement of Union serves as a focal point, situated between the river and the heights of Barrett Hill. This area is defined by its transition from the river valley to prominent elevations like Clarry Hill and Coggans Hill, which overlook a network of smaller brooks and ponds, including Medomak Pond and White Oak Pond.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several established burial grounds, such as Village Cem and the Lake View Cem near the river, as well as the more southerly Post Sunny View Cem. The map documents a series of traditional crossroads communities, including South Union, White Oak Corner, and Davis Corner, reflecting the historic settlement patterns across the Knox and Lincoln county border. Industrial history is noted by Mill Stream near South Union, where the landscape begins its descent toward North Pond.
