2021 Map of Haynesville

About this map

Haynesville serves as the central hub of this Aroostook County landscape, where the East Branch Mattawamkeag River joins the main stem of the Mattawamkeag River. The settlement pattern follows the river corridor and the historic Military Rd, which is punctuated by small family burial grounds including Blaisdell Cem, Riverside Cem, and the Karnes Gellerson Cem. Further south, the community of North Bancroft sits near the base of Shorey Hill, while Selden lies to the east near Faulkner Lake. The terrain is defined by low ridges and expansive wetlands, with significant high points like Mitchel Mtn and Peekaboo Mtn framing the river valley. Genealogists can trace several remote sites like Tuck Cem and Selden Cem, while the location of Ferry Bridge and Ledge Falls indicates traditional crossing points and navigational markers along the historic river routes of northern Maine.
