1988 Map of East Millinocket

About this map

East Millinocket and the settlement at Grindstone anchor this late-1980s landscape dominated by the winding path of the East Branch Penobscot River. The industrial and transport character of the era is evident in the presence of the Bangor and Aroostook railroad line and a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks. The river itself transitions through varying degrees of intensity, marked by Grindstone Falls, Meadow Brook Rapids, and Ledge Falls. These features, combined with the managed waters of Dolby Pond and its Partridge Brook Flowage, reflect the significant role of the river in the regional economy. Beyond the main settlements, the map records more isolated landmarks such as Wadleigh Deadwater and a local Cem, providing valuable coordinates for genealogists tracing families in the Medway and East Millinocket townships.
