About this map

Peaked Mtn rises as a central landmark in this 1982 provisional survey of the Maine interior, where the borders of Penobscot and Waldo counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small rural settlements like Dixmont Center, Newburgh Center, and Simpson Corners. These clusters of development are connected by historic thoroughfares including Garland Road and Kennebec Road.

Water plays a critical role in the geography, with Chase Bog, Northern Pond, and the North Branch Marsh Stream winding through the hills and valleys. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for numerous small burial grounds, such as Harmony Place Cem and Toothaker Cem, alongside civic foundations like the Elna-Dixmont Sch. The presence of the WABI Radio Tower on Peaked Mtn highlights the era's modern infrastructure amidst traditional Maine farmsteads and gravel pits.
