About this map

Mattawamkeag serves as a vital rail junction on this 1942 survey, where the Maine Central Railroad meets the Canadian Pacific Railroad along the banks of the Penobscot River. The landscape is a complex network of timberlands and waterways, including the large Molunkus Lake and several significant bogs like Martin Bog and Carlton Bog. Industrial and agricultural footprints are visible at the Mattaseunk Dam and smaller settlements such as Jordan Mills and Macwahoc.

Genealogists and local historians can find specifically named rural landmarks like Davis Farm and the Back Settlement, along with the North Woodville Sch and South Woodville Sch. Large administrative tracts, including the North Yarmouth Academy Grant, highlight the historical land division patterns of interior Maine. The map captures a moment when small schools and rail connections defined the reach of these Penobscot County communities.
