2018 Map of Brooks West

About this map

East Thorndike and Brooks anchor this portion of Waldo County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Marsh Stream and Halfmoon Stream. The area's agricultural and settlement history is visible in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Cole Cem, Wing Cem, and the Styles Cem located near the eastern boundary. The terrain is marked by distinct elevations like Hedgehog Hill and Skyscraper Hill, which rise above the low-lying Stantial Bog. A network of early transit is preserved in the naming of Knox Station Rd, which hints at the former rail connections that once served Knox Center and East Knox. The prevalence of small-scale water features like Penny Brook and Great Farm Brook underscores the rural character of these Maine townships, where the layout of roads like Patterson Ridge Rd follows the natural contours of the upland ridges.
