1881 Atlas of Hancock County, Maine

A complete, full-color facsimile of the Atlas of Hancock County, Maine, compiled and published under the direction of Geo. N. Colby by S. F. Colby & Co. of Ellsworth in 1881. Drawn from official plans, U.S. Coast Survey charts, and actual surveys by H. E. Halfpenny and J. H. Stuart, engraved by Wm. Bracher and printed by F.

Inland townships, plantations, and timber lands round out the coverage, along with engraved views and the subscribers' Patrons' Business Directory of county merchants, farmers, and sea captains.
