1989 Map of Monarda

About this map

Silver Ridge anchors this late-twentieth-century survey of southern Aroostook County, where the settlement of Monarda sits along a north-south ridge line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of waterways and timberlands, with Molunkus Stream and Macwahoc Stream draining the varied terrain. In the west, Plunkett Pond and Flinn Pond flank the boundary near Benedicta, while the northeast is dominated by Macwahoc Lake and Lower Macwahoc Lake. The map illustrates the traditional survey township divisions typical of Northern Maine, including T 3 R 4 Wels and Upper Molunkus. Aside from the small clusters at Woodbridge Corner and the primary ridge, the area remains largely characterized by its brooks and streams, such as Logan Brook and Gulliver Brook, reflecting a region tied closely to its natural resources and limited road network.
