2024 Map of Milo South

About this map

The Piscataquis River and Pleasant River converge near the rail-oriented community of Derby and the town of Milo in this contemporary overview of south-central Maine. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Sebec River joins the larger flows amidst a network of low-lying wetlands like Freese Bog and Black Bog. To the south, Boyd Lake serves as a prominent landmark, featuring Cook Island and feeding into Dead Stream. For family historians, the presence of several established burial grounds including Upper Ferry Cem, Boyd Lake Cem, and Orneville Cem provides critical points of reference for local genealogy. The transition from the settled streets of Milo to the surrounding timberlands and bogs illustrates the enduring relationship between these riverside communities and the wooded interior of Piscataquis County.
