About this map

The Penobscot River winds through this northern Maine landscape, serving as the historical boundary between Aroostook Co and Penobscot Co. The settlement of Jordan Mills sits on the eastern bank of the river, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Eagle Stream and Rush Brook. To the north, the waters of Mattaseunk Lake are fed by Wyman Brook and Carlton Brook, while Kimble Hill rises as a prominent landmark in the center of the sheet.

Local roads such as Butterfield Ridge Rd and Dickey Moore Rd provide access to the interior, where the hydrology is complex. This area is characterized by numerous boggy environments like Five Bog and Carlisle Swamp, which are part of a larger drainage system involving Pattagumpus Stream and Little Pattagumpus Stream. This 2018 survey documents a region where the logging and river-based heritage of Maine remains etched into the names of its streams and ridges.
