2021 Map of Bowers Mountain

About this map

Prentiss and Carroll occupy a landscape defined by rolling ridgelines and complex wetlands along the border of Penobscot and Washington counties. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Bowers Mtn in the southeast and Weatherbee Hill to the west, while drainage is managed by a network of waterways including Mattagodus Stream and Baskahegan Stream. The presence of Lindsey Bog and Lowell Lake underscores the glacial character of this region, which remains largely rural and dominated by forest and watershed. A grid of local routes such as Lee Rd and Tar Ridge Rd connects the scattered homesteads and former logging tracts. The map details numerous family-named landmarks including Sam Rowe Ridge and Gates Hill, reflecting the local genealogical history of the area.
