About this map

Marsh Stream and its tributaries define the rolling drainage basins of Waldo County, where the historic crossroads of Monroe Center and Pattee Corner anchor a landscape of scattered hills and family-named cemeteries. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent elevations such as Robertson Mtn and Houstus Hill, punctuated by small bodies of water like Basin Pond and Thistle Pond.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of numerous rural burial grounds, including Mt Solitude Cem, Robertson Cem, and Land of Rest Cem. In the southern portion of the map, the industrial legacy of the region is suggested by Nickerson Mills and Quarry Hill, while the settlement of Yorks Corner sits near the northwestern shores of Swan Lake. This map captures a mature rural network of roads connecting these small communities across the diverse topography of Waldo and Brooks.
