2014 Map of Milo South

About this map

The confluence of the Sebec River, Piscataquis River, and Pleasant River anchors the northern portion of this Maine landscape, where the settlement of Milo transitions into the industrial rail siding at Derby. Moving south, the terrain is defined by the expansive waters of Boyd Lake and its central Cook Island. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the Upper Ferry Cem near the riverbanks and the Orneville Cem further inland. The map details a network of rural routes such as Lyford Rd and Boyd Lake Rd that connect isolated outposts like Parkers and Storers Corner. This 2014 survey documents the enduring hydraulic character of the region, from the winding path of Stinking Brook to the marshes surrounding Dead Stream and Beaver Brook.
