1988 Map of Dill Hill

About this map

Baskahegan Stream and its numerous tributaries dominate this timberland landscape in the late 1980s, marking the boundary between Penobscot and Washington counties. This interior Maine terrain is defined by low peaks like Dill Hill and Bowers Mtn and the intricate drainage of the Alder Brook Bog. The map details the transition from the flowing waters of Big Baskahegan Stream to the slow-moving Middle Deadwater, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the region before any major modern development altered these traditional logging lands. Local elevations like Horse Hill and Stetson Mtn provide the high ground above the saturated lowlands of Deadwater Stream and Horse Brook. This provisional survey preserves the wilderness character of Kossuth and Carroll Plantation, showing the area's geography as it was recorded during aerial photography in 1984.
