About this map

The Piscataquis River and its major tributaries, Kingsbury Stream and Carlton Stream, dictate the development of this Piscataquis County landscape. The industrial and residential center of Guilford anchors the eastern edge of the map, while the smaller hamlets of Abbot Village and Monson Junction are positioned at critical rail and river points to the west. Evidence of the region’s mid-20th-century educational and civic infrastructure is visible through the Piscataquis Comm High Sch and the McKusick Sch in Parkman.

Local history is well-preserved in the numerous small burial grounds including Blanchard Cem, Abbot Village Cem, and Elmwood Cem. The terrain transitions from the heights of Guilford Mtn and Faunce Hill toward the boggy lowlands of Fairbrother Bog and Robinson Bog. Transportation networks are dominated by the Abbot Village Sta and rural connectors like Monson Road and Guilford Center Road, reflecting the area's transition between agricultural and small-town industrial life.
