2018 Map of Olamon

About this map

Olamon and Cardville serve as the primary focal points of this Penobscot County landscape, situated east of the Penobscot River. The terrain is defined by the unique glacial geology of the Enfield Horseback, an esker ridge that influences the local drainage patterns. Water is central to this area's geography, with the branching network of Olamon Stream, Halfway Brook, and Sunkhaze Stream winding through extensive wetland areas. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several family-named burial grounds, including the Dennis Cem and Welles Cem near the northern settlement, and the Cardville Cem further south. A network of rural routes such as Main Rd and Cardville Rd connects these small communities, while the S Buzzy Brook Trail offers a route through the more wooded interior sections.
