2024 Map of Mud Lake

About this map

Woodland Center and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Aroostook County are defined by a network of family-named roads and scattered burial grounds. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of Salmon Brook Lake and Mud Lake to the prominent heights of Fogelin Hill and Jacobson Hill. Small settlements like Blackstone and Sweden are connected by a grid of rural thoroughfares such as Westmanland Rd and New Sweden Rd, reflecting the region's Scandinavian heritage. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of small, often isolated cemeteries, including the West Jemtland Cem and the Nilsen Ackerson Family Cem. The Little Madawaska River and Mud Brook carve through the north, while the southern reaches are dominated by the headwaters of Salmon Brook, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the early farmsteads and timber roads of this northern Maine interior.
