2014 Map of Monson West

About this map

Lake Hebron and its prominent Birch Island serve as a central anchor for the town of Monson, where the shoreline is dotted with local landmarks like Lake Road Cem. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by the intersection of recreational wilderness and historic settlement patterns in Piscataquis County. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the central hills, crossing Doughty Hill and Buck Hill, while the B&A Railroad RD traces the rail heritage of the region. To the west, the settlement of Blanchard is marked by the presence of the Old Blanchard Cem and New Blanchard Cem near the Piscataquis River. In the northern reaches, Shirley Mills and Lower Shirley Corner represent established nodes of habitation amidst a dense network of water bodies, including Spectacle Ponds and Little Wilson Stream.
