About this map

Unity Pond dominates this central Maine landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural communities. The map details a web of family-named corners and settlements, from the northern reach of Pittsfield near the Sebasticook River to the village of Unity at the southern edge. The terrain is marked by distinct elevations such as Beech Hill, which stands between the pond and the wetlands of Carlton Pond.

Local history is preserved in the numerous named intersections and burying grounds that define the area's social geography. Places like Dodge Corner, Mitchell Corner, and Twitchell Corner indicate a long-established pattern of small-scale agriculture and transit. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the Chandler Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Fairview Cem, which remain anchored to the winding network of roads like Bangor Rd and Troy Rd.
