About this map

The Medomak River and its tributaries carve through the central landscape of this Knox County region, anchoring a series of small, interconnected crossroads settlements. From the village of Washington in the west to Burkettville and North Union, the map reveals a community structured around these historic junctions and the water power of the river system. In the east, Appleton Ridge overlooks the Saint George River valley, while to the south, Sennebec Pond marks the landscape.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local data, as the terrain is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including the Skidmore, Hannon, and Pierpont cemeteries. These landmarks, alongside named corners like Maddocks Corner and Sawpit Corner, provide a detailed look at the rural land divisions and family-named points of interest that defined this part of Maine in the early 21st century.
