About this map

Sherman Mills and Benedicta anchor this southern Aroostook County landscape, where the town lines of Sherman meet the northern reaches of Penobscot County. The area is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Salmon Stream and Molunkus Stream, which drain the wetlands of Kelly Bog. The terrain rises toward distinctive high points like Horse Mtn and Lawler Ridge, framing a region shaped by its agricultural and timber heritage.

Local history is preserved at the Saint Benedict Cem and Sherman Cem, while the road network connects these small settlements via Benedicta RD and Aroostook RD. The map detail traces the varied hydrology of the region, from the secluded waters of Hocter Pond and Rush Pond to the smaller reaches of Little Molunkus Stream, providing a clear view of the natural boundaries that have guided local development for generations.
