2014 Map of Bucksport

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape, where the towns of Bucksport and Prospect face each other across the deep water. The 2014 terrain is defined by the engineering transition between the Waldo-Hancock Bridge and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, providing a vital link to Verona Island. This island, separated from the mainland by the Eastern Channel, contains prominent elevations like McCloud Mtn, while the western shore rises sharply to Heagan Mtn and Mosquito Mtn. Numerous small coves, including Lawrence Cove and Collins Cove, indent the shoreline, reflecting a maritime environment where historic family burial grounds like Gross Point Cem and Whitman Cem are situated near the tidal reaches of the Orland River.
