About this map

West Rockport and the surrounding Knox County hills anchor this contemporary survey of the Midcoast region. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies, from the expansive Alford Lake and Crawford Pond in the west to the higher-elevation Mirror Lake tucked beneath the slopes of Ragged Mtn. The hydrological network is complex, featuring the Saint George River and the three distinct branches of the Oyster River, including the East-Branch Oyster River and West-Branch Oyster River.

Settlement patterns follow the winding routes between these peaks and ponds, with clusters at South Hope, East Union, and East Warren. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several points of interest such as the West Rockport Cem, East Union Cem, and Morey Hill Cem. The area’s history of local industry is reflected at Wattons Mill, while the geography remains dominated by prominent heights like Bald Mtn, Spruce Mtn, and Meadow Mtn.
