2024 Map of Olamon

About this map

Olamon and Cardville anchor this northern Maine landscape, where the Penobscot River creates complex waterways like the Side Channel and Olamon Island. To the south, the sprawling Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge dominates the terrain, protected as a massive wetland complex fed by Sunkhaze Stream and Buzzy Brook. The mapping of this area reveals a network of brooks and old transportation routes, including the Military Rd and Old Lowell Rd, which traverse the glacial geology of the Enfield Horseback. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several small burial grounds, including the Welles Cem, Dennis Cem, and Cardville Cem, providing a direct link to the families who settled this timber and river country. The numerous waterway names like Parker Meadow Brook and Halfway Brook illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped local land use and boundary lines.
