2011 Map of Greenbush

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this region, weaving through a dense network of islands including Sugar Island, White Squaw Island, and Freese Island. Small settlements like Greenbush and Argyle are positioned along the river's path, while the communities of Alton and Costigan anchor the western and southeastern reaches of the map. The landscape is characterized by numerous small water bodies such as Holland Pond and Mansell Pond, alongside winding waterways like Birch Stream and Hemlock Stream. Local heritage is preserved in scattered burial sites including Alton Cemetery, Hemlock Cemetery, and Cedarvale Cemetery. The presence of industrial and residential landmarks, such as the Alton Tannery Rd and Quarry Rd, reflects a history shaped by natural resource management and local enterprise in Penobscot County.
