2024 Map of Orland

About this map

Alamoosook Lake and the Narramissic River anchor a landscape defined by glacial waters and coastal hills in Hancock County. The area’s historic role in conservation is highlighted by the Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery, situated between Craig Pond and the river valley. The settlement pattern follows old transit points like Five Mile Corners and Cranes Corners, where small crossroads provided essential hubs for the rural population. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds preserved on this sheet, from the Evergreen Cem near the town of Orland to the Hillside Cem further south in North Penobscot. The terrain rises sharply to peaks like Great Pond Mtn and Flying Moose Mtn, contrasting with the low-lying bog of the Great Heath in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
