2011 Map of Bowers Mountain

About this map

Prentiss and Carroll anchor this rural landscape in Penobscot County, where the topography is defined by a series of north-south running ridges and complex waterway networks. The drainage of Mattagodus Stream and Baskahegan Stream shapes the terrain, creating a pattern of valleys separated by prominent heights such as Bowers Mountain and Sheepskin Ridge. To the west, Thompson Corners serves as a local navigational point at the junction of several arterial roads like Tar Ridge Rd. The presence of numerous named hills including Weatherbee Hill, Gates Hill, and Brown Hill suggests a landscape historically utilized for its woodlots and upland vantage points. To the south, Lowell Lake marks a significant basin for the region's internal drainage system, which is fed by numerous brooks such as Spruce Brook and Getchell Brook.
