2011 Map of Old Town

About this map

The Penobscot River and its western channel, the Stillwater River, define a landscape shaped by river power and higher education in this early 21st-century survey. Old Town and Orono anchor the southern portion of the map, centered around the sprawling campus of the University of Maine. The map captures a complex river network where industrial history meets modern infrastructure, shown through the series of obstructions including the Milford Dam, Stillwater Dam, and Orono Dam. On Marsh Island, several historic burial grounds like Woodlawn Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery are visible near the university and the residential core. Further north, the river splits around numerous landmasses such as Indian Island and Orson Island, while the Old Town Post Office marks the civic center of the community east of Dewitt Field.
