About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this region of Penobscot County, where the river's path is marked by islands and rapids. Settlements like North Lincoln and Lincoln Center are established along the eastern banks, following the corridor of Us-2. This transportation route parallels the historical path of the Old Military Rd, reflecting the area's development as a river-based economy transitioning to modern highway transit. The landscape is dotted with small cemeteries including Snow Cem, Mid Chester Cem, and Lincoln Center Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracking early families in the Chester and Lincoln areas.

Water dominates the local geography, from the complex shoreline of Cambolasse Pond to the secluded Egg Pond and Long Pond. These basins, fed by waterways like Cambolasse Stream and Salmon Stream, define the township's drainage patterns. High ground such as Bagley Mountain and Glidden Hill provides contrast to the river valley, while features like Sebonibus Rapids highlight the river's character before it flows past the Brown Islands.
