About this map

The town of Lincoln serves as the focal point for this 1988 survey of Penobscot County, where a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands dictates the local geography. Significant water bodies including Mattanawcook Pond, Upper Pond, and the Upper Cold Stream Ponds are connected by narrow waterways like Dead Stream and Sucker Brook. The landscape is defined by prominent elevations such as Long Ridge, Dow Mtn, and Varney Hill, which rise above the surrounding lowlands and the Rocky Brook Swamp.

Local infrastructure reflects a rural economy and history, centered around Libby Corner and a series of historical thoroughfares such as Transalpine Road and Burlington Road. For those tracing family history or local development, the map identifies specific landmarks like the Transalpine Cem and Long Ridge Cem. Resource extraction is evidenced by the several Gravel Pit sites scattered across the township boundaries of Burlington and Lowell.
