About this map

The town of Lincoln and the rural crossroads of Libby Corner anchor this landscape defined by an interconnected network of water bodies and ridges. Large glacial ponds like Mattanawcook Pond, Folsom Pond, and Upper Pond dominate the northern and central sections, regulated by structures such as the Folsom Pond Dam and Upper Pond Dam. This hydrography suggests a history of timber management and local water power typical of the Penobscot County interior.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community burial sites, including Half Township Cemetery near Dow Mountain and Long Ridge Cemetery along the southern elevation of Long Ridge. The map details a transition from the denser settlement of Lincoln to the more dispersed residential development along Transalpine Rd and Old County Rd. In the south, the waters of Eskutassis Pond and Little Eskutassis Pond feed into Eskutassis Stream, marking the lower reaches of this lake-heavy territory.
