Catherine Mountain (colloquially, Catherine's Hill) is a 962-foot-high (293 m) mountain in Township 10 SD (commonly referred to as the Blackswoods Township or Blacks Woods District) Hancock County, Maine.[1] Catherine's Hill is locally referred to as the section of the Black's Woods Road (Route 182 between Franklin and Cherryfield) which summits near the mountain, the rise ending a short distance from Fox Pond. Both are named after a legendary woman named Catherine, whose ghost is said to haunt the hill.
