About this map

Cold Stream Pond and the Penobscot River anchor this late-1980s topographical study of central Maine. The town of Lincoln serves as a local hub, where the Lincoln Municipal Airport and the Maine Central railroad corridor demonstrate the region's transport infrastructure. Along the river, named features like Mohawk Rapids and Mahockanock Island speak to the waterway's natural character, while South Lincoln and Enfield represent the established residential footprint of Penobscot County.

Industrial activity is evident through several sand & gravel pits and a gravel pit located near Enfield Station. The landscape is a mix of high ground and wetlands, including Grays Hill and the Rocky Brook Swamp. For those interested in local recreation, the map identifies specific points like Morgan Beach and a Boat Ramp Picnic Area, providing a detailed look at how the community utilized the shoreline during this era.
