About this map

Prentiss and the rural crossroads of Thompson Corners anchor this late-1980s landscape at the border of Penobscot and Washington Counties. The area is defined by a dense network of brooks and ridges, where the high ground of Bowers Mountain and Tolman Hill overlooks the low-lying Lindsey Bog. A pattern of small-scale settlement persists near Carroll, where local landmarks like the Gates Hill area and multiple cemeteries suggest deep-rooted family ties in this timber-rich region. Economic activity is evidenced by scattered gravel pits and a radio tower, while the winding Mattagodus Stream and Baskahegan Stream dictate the movement across the townships of Prentiss Plt and Carroll Plt. The map reveals a transition between managed forest lands and the quiet residential pockets that have survived in this corner of Down East Maine.
