2018 Map of Linneus

About this map

Linneus and New Limerick anchor this Aroostook County landscape, where the local economy and settlement patterns are defined by the winding Meduxnekeag River and its numerous tributaries. The map reveals a community structured around its water resources and high ground, with elevations such as Drew Hill and Adams Mtn rising above a dense network of lakes and ponds. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the locations of the Linneus Cem and New Limerick Cem, while the road network, including the prominent Bangor Rd, connects these rural centers to the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. The transition from the northern Mill Brook drainage down to the South Branch Meduxnekeag River in the south illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, featuring distinctive bodies of water like Nickerson Lake and the marshy edges of Mud Lake.
