2011 Map of Monson East

About this map

Big Wilson Stream winds through a landscape of ridges and wetlands, anchoring the settlements of Willimantic and Goodell Corner in this Piscataquis County region. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies, from the prominent Lake Onawa in the northeast to the uniquely named Eighteen Quarry Pond and Squankin Pond. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Hillside Cemetery, Monson Cemetery, and Riverside Cemetery, reflecting the early communities that grew around the local streams and hills. Notable elevations like Greenwood Mountain and Davis Mountain rise above the valleys, while features such as Phillips Brooks Dam indicate the managed nature of the local hydrography during this era. The road network, including Elliottsville Rd and Willimantic Rd, connects these small settlements across the rocky Maine woods.
