About this map

The Piscataquis River and the Canadian Pacific railroad corridor dictate the settlement patterns of this Piscataquis County landscape in the early 1980s. The town of Guilford serves as a primary hub, situated where the river bends south of Guilford Mtn. Upstream, the twin settlements of Abbot Village and Upper Abbot sit at the confluence of the river and Kingsbury Stream, showcasing a traditional Maine river-valley layout.

Rural life is marked by small schools and community landmarks, such as the McKusick Sch in Parkman and the Piscataquis Comm High Sch near the boundary of Sangerville. The topography is defined by significant water bodies like Harlow Pond and the chain of First Davis Pond, Second Davis Pond, and Third Davis Pond to the north. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Blanchard Cem and Elmwood Cem, while former rail stops like Abbot Village Sta and Monson Junction point to the area's industrial past.
