2018 Map of Haynesville

About this map

The Mattawamkeag River and its East Branch carve a winding path through this corner of Aroostook County, anchoring the small settlements of Haynesville and Selden. The landscape is defined by its numerous waterways, including Juniper Brook, Skagrock Brook, and Merrill Brook, which flow through the low-lying wetlands between Mitchel Mtn and Valentine Ridge. Historical continuity is evident in the cluster of burial grounds near the river, such as Riverside Cem and Karnes Gellerson Cem, while the Ferry Bridge crossing suggests the importance of river access to the local transport network. Further south, North Bancroft sits near the base of Shorey Hill, overlooking the intricate drainage of Watson Brook and Little Battle Brook. The presence of several named family cemeteries and isolated ridges like Peekaboo Mtn reflects a deeply rooted, rural community shaped by the terrain of the Maine North Woods.
