2014 Map of Brooks West

About this map

East Thorndike and Brooks anchor this Waldo County landscape, where the rural crossroads of Walker Corner and Knox Ledge Corner highlight the historical settlement patterns of the Maine interior. The map reveals a dense network of local burial grounds, including Cole Cem, Wing Cem, and the Knox Station Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Hedgehog Hill and Skyscraper Hill, which overlook a complex drainage system fed by Marsh Stream and Stantial Brook. In the southeastern corner, the headwaters of Lake Passagassawakeag and Ellis Pond suggest the transition toward the coastal watershed. The preservation of local road names like Moosehead Trail Hwy and Purple Heart Hwy reflects the evolution of transit through these upland townships.
