1942 Map of Mattawamkeag

About this map

The confluence of the Penobscot River and the Mattaseunk Stream anchors this interior Maine landscape, where logging and transit defined local life in the early 1940s. Two major rail lines, the Maine Central and the Canadian Pacific, converge at the village of Mattawamkeag, illustrating the town's importance as a transportation junction. To the north and west, the terrain is characterized by a network of drainage basins, including the Salmon Stream Lake and the long course of Molunkus Stream.
