About this map

The Mattawamkeag River winds through this section of Aroostook County, anchoring the small settlements of Haynesville and Selden. The landscape is defined by its watercourses and modest elevations like Mitchel Mtn and Peekaboo Mtn, reflecting a rural Maine character where transport followed the river valleys. A series of family and community burial grounds, including Blaisdell Cem, Karnes Gellerson Cem, and Tuck Cem, are situated along the primary roads that parallel the riverbanks.

Historical infrastructure is evident at the Ferry Bridge and along the established Military Rd, which historically connected central Maine to the border regions. Near the southern edge, the settlement of North Bancroft sits near Ledge Falls, where the river's descent once provided natural landmarks for early travelers and woodsmen. The numerous brooks, such as Skagrock Brook and Juniper Brook, create a dense network of drainage feeding into the main river system.
