About this map

Belfast and Moosehead Lake railroad tracks define the rural transportation corridor through these Waldo County towns in the early 1980s. The landscape is dotted with several historic crossroads and former railroad stops, including Knox Station and Knox Ledge Corner. The map captures a detailed inventory of local family and community history, recording numerous burial grounds such as Cole Cem and Styles Cem, alongside landmarks like the Center Ch and the Church of God.

Natural features are dominated by the low-lying wetlands of Stantial Bog and the waters of Passagassawakeag Lake to the southeast. The southern portion of the quadrangle is largely occupied by the Frye Mountain State Game Management Area, illustrating the region's dedication to conservation and managed wilderness. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several sites marked as Sand & Gravel Pit, reflecting the local geology and economy of the time.
