About this map

Burlington and Lowell center this Penobscot County landscape, where the local economy and settlement patterns remain closely tied to a complex network of waterways. The Passadumkeag River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by numerous tributaries like Eskutassis Stream and Fogg Brook. A notable concentration of industrial history is found at the Eskutassis Stream Dam and nearby Gristmill Pond, reflecting the region's historical reliance on water power.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, including Mount Repose Cemetery, Page Cemetery, and Lowell Cemetery. The terrain is defined by distinct rises such as Town House Hill and Folsom Ridge, while large water bodies like Eskutassis Pond and Saponac Pond dominate the northern and eastern reaches. The map also preserves the courses of numerous rural routes, such as Tannery Rd and Woodman Mill Rd, which provide clues to the locations of former local industries.
