2018 Map of Washington

About this map

Washington and North Union sit within a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Medomak River and the Saint George River. This interior section of Maine is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Hannon Cem, Weymouth Cem, and Skidmore Cem, reflecting the deep ancestral roots of the local hamlets. Small-scale settlements like Burkettville, Lucas Corner, and South Liberty are connected by a network of rural roads such as Collinstown Rd and Fishtown Rd. The terrain is punctuated by significant rises such as Coon Mtn and Appleton Ridge, with the latter overlooking Appleton Ridge Pond. The presence of numerous brooks and ponds, including Newbert Pond and Sennebec Pond, underscores the importance of local water systems to the historical development of these townships near the Waldo and Knox County line.
