About this map

The Pleasant River winds through the heart of Washington County, anchoring the settlement of Columbia Falls. This coastal Maine landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and varied topography, where the Chandler River and Indian River parallel one another as they flow toward the Atlantic. To the north, the small community of Centerville sits at the junction of Centerville Rd and several logging and mountain roads, positioned between Milton Mountain and Sugar Hill.

A notable geological feature, the Big Heath, occupies the eastern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the boggy, low-lying terrain common to this part of the Down East region. The network of brooks including Pecky Brook and Tenney Brook feeds into the primary river valleys, while ridges like Sewall Ridge and Jim Wood Ridge provide significant elevation changes. The presence of the Central District west of the river suggests long-standing local administrative or school divisions in this historically rural area.
