2018 Map of Milo South

About this map

The confluence of the Sebec River and Piscataquis River defines the northern landscape of this region, where the town of Milo and the rail-oriented settlement of Derby are situated. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of the Pleasant River and the expansive wetlands of Freese Bog and Black Bog. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the waters of Boyd Lake and Pleasant Pond, connected by a network of waterways including Dead Stream and Beaver Brook. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Upper Ferry Cem near the riverbanks and Orneville Cem in the central woods. The arrangement of seasonal roads and landing points like Knowles Landing Rd suggests a landscape tied closely to its water bodies and the logging or recreational heritage of the Maine woods.
