2021 Map of Old Town

About this map

The Penobscot River and Stillwater River define this riverine landscape, where the waters divide around numerous landmasses including Orson Island, Marsh Island, and Orono Island. This 2021 update reveals the complex hydrology of the region, from the extensive Caribou Bog and Alton Bog to the smaller channels of Pushaw Stream and Sunkhaze Stream. The map documents the educational and industrial centers of the area, featuring the sprawling grounds of the University of Maine in Orono and the settled riverfronts of Old Town, Milford, and Bradley. A rich network of local cemeteries, such as Maple Grove Cem, Riverside Cem, and the Tribal Cem on Indian Island, provides valuable points of reference for genealogical research and local history within these historic Maine communities.
