About this map

Prentiss and Carroll anchor this rural landscape in Penobscot County, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and slow-moving waterways. The topographic data reveals a complex drainage system, with the Mattagodus Stream and Baskahegan Stream navigating the lowlands between elevations like Bowers Mtn and Sheepskin Ridge. The presence of Lindsey Bog and various brooks such as Coffin Brook and Barker Brook suggests a predominantly wet, wooded environment typical of interior Maine.

Local history is reflected in the numerous family-named landmarks and historical routes. Roads like Tar Ridge Rd, Osgood Rd, and Dilloway Rd connect scattered homesteads and small settlements. The map traces the boundary between Penobscot and Washington counties, highlighting the geographical isolation and the importance of natural features like Lowell Lake and Weatherbee Hill in defining the local territory.
