About this map

Silver Ridge and Monarda anchor this landscape in southern Aroostook County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of waterways feeding into the Molunkus Stream and Macwahoc Stream systems. The settlement pattern follows the north-south axis of Silver Ridge Rd, connecting small homesteads and local infrastructure like the Silver Ridge Cem. This area is characterized by its numerous small tributaries, including Connerly Brook, Burn Brook, and Dennitt Brook, which drain the surrounding wetlands and woodlands.

Prominent water bodies such as Plunkett Pond and Lower Macwahoc Lake serve as local landmarks, with the former being fed by Plunkett Brook. The presence of roads like Woodbridge Corner Rd and Pond Rd indicates the established transportation routes that have supported the local economy and timber access for generations. The map provides a clear look at the intricate drainage patterns of the region, from Hailey Brook to Gulliver Brook, essential for understanding the historical development and land use of this Maine interior.
