2021 Map of Medunkeunk Lake

About this map

The confluence of the West Branch Penobscot River and East Branch Penobscot River defines the landscape of Medway, Maine, in this 2021 survey. This geography created significant landmarks like Nicatou Island and Bay Island, which have long anchored local navigation and settlement patterns. The map highlights several local burying grounds, including Medway Cem, East Millinocket Cem, and the small Lynch Cem tucked away near Medway Road. Beyond the developed corridor of the Penobscot, the terrain turns to wetlands and tributary networks. Large-scale features such as Inman Bog and Carlisle Swamp dominate the eastern side, while the Medunkeunk Stream and Rockabema Stream drain the forested western interior. The contemporary road network, including the Nicatou Industrial Lane and Powersville Road, reflects the area's continued reliance on the river and timber access.
