About this map

Meduxnekeag Lake and a dense network of ponds and brooks define this Aroostook County landscape, where the northern highlands meet the headwaters of the E Br Mattawamkeag River. Small settlements like Timoney and Bennett are clustered in the northwest, supported by a system of rural routes including Ridge Rd and Spaulding Lake Rd. The map illustrates a region where local geography is deeply tied to family names and topographic landmarks, from Sam Drew Mtn and Drew Hill to Byron Mtn.

Genealogists will find the Timoney Cem and Oakfield Cem near established homesteads, while the varied terrain of Hunt Ridge and Bates Ridge suggests the traditional timber and agricultural character of the area. This 2014 survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of the north woods, where Skitacook Lake, Mud Lake, and Beaver Brook Lake create a complex aquatic environment before the waters descend toward the Mattawamkeag drainage.
