About this map

The confluence of the Piscataquis River and the Penobscot River defines this region of Penobscot County, where the settlement of West Enfield serves as a primary hub. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of waterways and wetlands, including Meadow Brook, Pollard Brook, and the Emerson Runaround. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on the landscape, such as Howland Cem, Emerson Mushero Cem, West Enfield Cem, and Edinburg Cem.

Transportation routes are prominent, with Lagrange RD and Edinburg RD connecting the riverfront communities, while Buzzport Airport and the post office (Po) indicate established local infrastructure. Natural landmarks like Hoytville Horseback rise above the surrounding terrain, and numerous islands dot the Penobscot, including Tomar Island, Craig Island, Fiddler Island, and Nicolar Island. The map provides a clear view of the rural and riverside character of the area in the early 21st century.
