About this map

The confluence of the Piscataquis River and the Penobscot River serves as the focal point for the settlements of Howland and West Enfield. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by significant riverine features, including the Piscataquis River Reservoir and the uniquely named Emerson Runaround. The river system is dotted with a chain of named islands such as Tomar Island, Craig Island, and Fiddler Island, which illustrate the complex hydrology of the Penobscot as it flows south toward Olamon Island.

Away from the water, the topography is marked by Hoytville Horseback and a network of drainages including Meadow Brook, Pollard Brook, and Hoyt Brook. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies essential landmarks like the West Enfield Cem and Edinburg Cem, alongside infrastructure like Buzzport Airport. The road network, including Lagrange Rd and Edinburg Rd, anchors the rural connectivity between these Penobscot County communities.
