About this map

The Penobscot River defines the urban landscape of Bangor and Brewer in this mid-1990s survey, showing the deep integration of education and aviation in the regional economy. The massive footprint of Bangor International Airport dominates the western side of the city, situated near Northern Maine Junction and the Air Nat Guard station. Educational institutions are densely clustered, from the Theological Seminary and Husson College to a wide network of local schools like Down East Sch and Fruit St Sch.

Tracing the Kenduskeag Stream north reveals a transition from the commercial center at Broadway Shopping Center to the quieter reaches of Six Mile Falls and East Bangor. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the large Mt Pleasant Cem and the smaller Pine Grove Cem. The map captures the suburban sprawl extending into Hermon and Glenburn, balanced by preserved green spaces like Fairmount Park and Chapin Park.
