About this map

Silver Ridge and the small crossroads of Monarda anchor this southern Aroostook County landscape, where the local economy is historically tied to the timber-rich forests and the waters of the Molunkus Stream watershed. The map documents a sparsely populated but deeply rooted community, centered along the primary north-south corridor that passes through Woodbridge Corner.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Silver Ridge Cemetery situated south of the main settlements, while those interested in the natural geography can trace an intricate network of waterways including Macwahoc Stream, Gulliver Brook, and Bear Brook. The western portion of the area is defined by significant water bodies such as Plunkett Pond and Flinn Pond, connected by small brooks and primitive routes like Extract Rd, reflecting the region's enduring character as a place of remote woodlands and seasonal camps.
