2011 Map of Knowles Corner

About this map

Knowles Corner serves as the focal point for this survey of rural Aroostook County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Branch Mattawamkeag River. The river's path through the territory includes notable features such as Upper Falls and Lower Falls, alongside the Rockabema Outlet Dam. The local geography is marked by significant elevations like Mattawamkeag Hill and Sholler Mountain, as well as the distinct Frost and Adams Ridge in the northeast. Small settlements such as Moro and Batesville are connected by a network of local routes, including the Mud Lake Tote Rd, hinting at the region's logging and sporting heritage. These roads weave through a terrain heavily influenced by its waterways, including East Hastings Brook and Secret Pond, which have long shaped the settlement patterns and economic activity of this northern Maine interior.
