About this map

Linneus and New Limerick anchor this landscape of the southern Aroostook County highlands, where the Meduxnekeag River and its numerous tributaries dictate the local geography. The topography is defined by the prominent Adams Mtn and Drew Hill, which rise above a complex network of glacial features, including the distinct ridge along Linneus Horseback Rd. Water is a constant presence, ranging from the large basin of Nickerson Lake to smaller reaches like Green Pond and Beaver Brook Lake.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground, with established sites like the Linneus Cem and New Limerick Cem providing important touchstones for local genealogy. The road network, including the diagonal path of Bangor Rd, connects these rural communities through a mosaic of woodlots and open fields. The map also traces the upper reaches of the South Branch Meduxnekeag River and Mill Stream, showing the drainage patterns that historically supported the region's timber and agricultural interests.
