2018 Map of Alder Brook

About this map

West Branch Mattawamkeag River and its eastern counterpart converge in this corner of Aroostook County, defining a landscape dominated by riparian wetlands and tributary drainage. The settlement at Glenwood serves as a primary local focal point, situated at the junction of Dixie Rd and the long-established Military Rd. This corridor reflects the historical infrastructure of northern Maine, where timber access and transport routes like Yankee Woodshed Rd and Codfish Ridge Rd navigate the low rises of Codfish Ridge. Small, isolated family or community burial sites including Twombly Cem and Eastman Cem are preserved here, providing essential physical records for genealogical research in this sparsely populated township. Numerous brooks, such as Alder Brook and Battle Brook, feed the river system through thickets and marshy bottoms.
