2018 Map of Bradford

About this map

Bradford and its outlying hamlets are situated within a landscape defined by an extensive network of brooks and streams in southern Penobscot County. The settlement pattern is largely linear, following roads like Station Rd and Lagrange Rd, while the local economy is anchored by landmarks such as Huntington Mill and the Heartstone Farm Airport. Numerous family-named burial grounds, including Corner Cem, Hillside Cem, and Trask Cem, are scattered across the township, offering a clear record of local lineage and early homesteads. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the wetlands surrounding Little Pushaw Pond, where the terrain transitions into the marshes of Call Bog. Several distinct branches of the Dead Stream, such as W Br Dead Stream and Middle Br Dead Stream, converge here, illustrating the complex drainage system that has influenced the placement of farms and small centers like Bradford Center and North Bradford.
