About this map

Sebasticook Lake and the East Branch Sebasticook River define the landscape of this region on the Somerset and Penobscot county line. The hub of Newport sits at the lake's eastern edge, where the waterway narrows and flows southward. The surrounding terrain is a network of bogs and brooks, including Robbers Bog and Big Meadow Bog, which have influenced the layout of local roads and smaller settlements like Palmyra, Detroit, and the uniquely named Dogtown.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped, such as Stuart Cem and North Ridge Cem, while the southern portion of the sheet shows the Pittsfield Municipal Airport and the crossing at Peltoma Bridge. The map traces a mix of modern infrastructure and old rural routes like Saint Albans Rd and Horseback Rd, reflecting the area's transition from a water-and-rail economy to a contemporary residential and regional transport center.
