Does anyone lay claim to being a "resident of Skowhegan? Change Hammond Ridge to Hammatt Ridge, Maine (Review List 387) http://www.topozone.com/map.asp? z=19&n=5062706.00015521&e=515749&datum=nad83&u=6 This proposal, to change officially the name of Hammond Ridge to Hammatt Ridge, was submitted by a resident of Skowhegan. Although the name Hammond Ridge has appeared on U.S. Geological Survey maps since 1951, the proponent reports that the feature was named for William Hammatt, who purchased property in the area in 1832. The ridge lies within an unorganized township in west-central Penobscot. We other relatives of William would love to hear from you. Nance
