About this map

Burlington and the neighboring settlements of Lowell and East Lowell anchor this portion of Penobscot County, where the Passadumkeag River cuts through the landscape. The river's path is marked by distinctive water features such as White Horse Rips and Pond Rips, flowing through a narrow passage known as The Narrows before reaching Saponac Pond. To the north, Eskutassis Pond feeds into the river system via Eskutassis Stream, defining the local drainage patterns that shaped early industry and settlement.

Local history and genealogy are preserved at sites like Mount Repose Cem, Page Cem, and Lowell Cem. The topography is dominated by significant elevations including Passadumkeag Mtn in the southeast and Town House Hill near the town center. The road network, including W Old Main Rd and Grand Falls Rd, connects these upland areas with the river valley, following terrain contours like Folsom Ridge and skirting the edges of numerous brooks such as Clark Brook and Madagascal Stream.
