About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this mid-1990s landscape, connecting the industrial and residential centers of Bangor, Brewer, and Old Town. The mapping reflects a region defined by its transition from the urban riverfront to the glacial lake basins and granite peaks of the interior. Transportation networks like the Maine Central Railroad and the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad parallel the water, underscoring the enduring importance of rail in the timber and trade economy of eastern Maine.

Away from the river valley, the terrain rises into significant elevations such as Lead Mountain and Blackcap Mountain, surrounded by an intricate system of water bodies including Graham Lake and Pushaw Lake. Notable specialized locations include the Dow Pines Recreation Area (US Air Force) and the coastal reaches of Hog Bay near Franklin. The map also captures the layout of established college towns like Orono and recreational enclaves like Lucerne-in-Maine.
