About this map

Alamoosook Lake and the winding Narramissic River anchor this coastal Maine landscape in the early 1980s. The region is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including the Dead River and the expansive Toddy Pond, which shapes the boundaries of Orland and Penobscot. A notable landmark is the Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery situated on the northern shore of the lake, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to local fisheries and natural resource management.

Small settlements and rural intersections like Five Mile Corners, Cranes Corners, and North Penobscot are connected by narrow roads that traverse a terrain of granite hills and wetlands. Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial grounds, including Oak Grove Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the high-elevation Front Ridge Cem. The map also captures the varied topography from the heights of Great Pond Mtn down to the low-lying Great Heath and the evocative Hell Bottom Swamp.
