2024 Map of Greenbush

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the dominant geographical feature here, carving a complex channel through northern Maine that creates a long chain of islands including Sugar Island, Thorofare Island, and Olamon Island. This river-centric landscape is shaped by the interplay of these waterways and the sprawling wetlands of Alton Bog. Settlement patterns follow the river's edge and the rural corridors of Main Rd and Bennoch Rd, where local history is anchored by the Alton Cem and Cedarvale Cem. The map also illustrates contemporary land use through the presence of the Penobscot Indian Nation Rd and the central transit corridor of the Interstate highway. To the west, the terrain transitions into dense forest and swampy lowlands drained by Hemlock Stream and Birch Stream, offering a detailed view of the region's hydrography and rural infrastructure.
