About this map

Union and South Union serve as the primary hubs of this mid-coastal Maine landscape, situated along a chain of significant water bodies including Sennebec Pond, Round Pond, and Seven Tree Pond. The St George River flows through this glacial valley, historically powering local industry and connecting the interior to the coast. Cultural life is anchored by the Fairgrounds near the village center and the Thompson Memorial Sch.

A network of family-named intersections like Whitney Corner, Benner Corner, and Feylers Corner reveals the distributed agricultural and residential patterns of the mid-20th century. Transportation history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade tracing the river, while the local Landing Strip represents contemporary aviation access. The map also captures numerous Gravel Pits and cemeteries such as Lake View Cem and Post Sunny View Cem, providing valuable data for genealogists and local historians.
