About this map

The Mattawamkeag River serves as the central artery for this portion of Penobscot County, where the settlement of Kingman sits at a strategic bend. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous tributaries like Molunkus Stream, Crossuntic Stream, and Mattagodus Stream feeding into the main river valley. This late-1980s data illustrates a region dominated by traditional Maine industries and conservation, evidenced by the local Gravel Pit and the expansive Mattawamkeag Wilderness County Park.

Genealogists and local historians can locate a small Cem in the southeast, while the variety of named water bodies, such as Billy Doe Bog, Mud Pond, and Merriman Brook, highlights the wet, low-lying nature of the terrain. The map also clearly delineates the plantation boundaries, including Macwahoc Plt, Drew Plt, and Webster Plt, reflecting the unique civil divisions of the Maine woods during this era.
