2014 Map of Alder Brook

About this map

Glenwood sits as a primary point of reference in this landscape of the Maine North Woods, where the terrain is defined by the convergence of several significant watercourses. The drainage of Alder Brook and Battle Brook feeds into the larger river systems, including the West Branch Mattawamkeag River and the East Branch Mattawamkeag River in the northeastern corner. The historic Military Rd cuts diagonally across the topography, a critical piece of infrastructure that predates modern highway systems. For those tracing local families, the map identifies specific burial sites like Twombly Cem and Eastman Cem, often the only remaining physical markers of nineteenth and early twentieth-century settlement. Elevated landforms such as Codfish Ridge overlook the numerous brooks, including Goniya Brook and Smith Brook, which weave through the forested interior.
