About this map

The border of Piscataquis and Penobscot counties runs through this rural Maine landscape, connecting scattered settlements that grew around the region's water power and timber resources. Dover South Mills and Silvers Mills stand as markers of this industrial past, situated near Branns Mill Pond and along the local road networks. The village of Garland serves as a central point in the southern half of the sheet, where Garland Pond feeds into the Kenduskeag Stream.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds documented here, including Pine Grove, Maplewood, and Evergreen cemeteries. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Preble Hill, Mansfield Ledge, and Norton Hill, which shaped the early paths of thoroughfares like Dexter Rd and Dover Rd. To the southwest, the Dexter Regional Airport provides a modern contrast to the traditional hilltop farmsteads and milling sites.
