About this map

Burlington sits at the center of this Maine landscape, defined by a network of glacial ponds and narrow waterways in Penobscot County. The community of Lowell and the nearby East Lowell are connected by a series of brooks and streams, including the winding Gristmill Stream and Buck Brook. Notable water bodies such as Eskutassis Pond and Saponac Pond dominate the northern and eastern portions of the map, while the Pasadumkeag River flows through the central valley, punctuated by features like White Horse Rips and The Narrows.

The terrain is marked by significant rises including Town House Hill and the prominent Grand Falls Mountain to the south. Local industry and infrastructure of the late twentieth century are evident through the presence of several Gravel Pits and a Gaging Station on the river. This survey captures a moment when the rural character of the region was preserved through its numerous family-named landmarks like Peasley Hill and Folsom Ridge.
