About this map

Medway serves as a central junction where the East Branch Penobscot River meets the West Branch Penobscot River to form the main Penobscot River. This confluence is marked by Nicatou Island and Bay Island, illustrating the river-centric geography of Penobscot County. The surrounding landscape is defined by vast wetland systems and smaller tributaries, including Inman Bog to the east and the lengthy Medunkeunk Stream that drains Medunkeunk Lake.

Family history is preserved at several burial sites located near the settlements and watercourses, specifically the East Millinocket Cem, Fiske Cem, and Lynch Cem. The map tracks the evolution of local transit from timber-hauling water routes to modern infrastructure, showing the path of the interstate alongside older local routes like Powersville Rd and Town Rd. The western portion of the quadrangle remains largely dominated by natural drainage patterns such as Rockabema Stream and Trapper Brook.
