About this map

Quantabacook Lake and its islands, Wood Island and Sheep Island, anchor the southern landscape of this Waldo County interior. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Frye Mtn and Spears Mtn to the north, giving way to the well-defined valleys of Marsh Stream and Bartlett Stream. Small rural settlements such as Morrill, North Searsmont, and West Searsmont are linked by a network of historic roads, including Belfast Rd and the Frye Trl.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across these hills, from Sunny Side Cem near Poland Stream to Hillcrest Cem overlooking the valley. The presence of Smiths Millpond and the Bartlett Stream Reservoir points to a history of water management and local industry integrated into the natural drainage basins. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character and topography of the area, from the wetlands of Little Pond to the high points of Pierce Hill.
